Democrats Exhibit Political Protest on Trump's Initial 100 Days, Delivering Speeches and Organizing Sit-ins; Democratic Party Strives to Demonstrate Resilience and Counterbalance Administration

Trolling Trump's Triumphant 100 Days, Dems Go Nuclear

Democrats are pulling out all the stops in an attempt to keep pace with President Donald Trump's aggressive agenda. As the big guy rallies his supporters on the eve of his first 100 days in office, the Democratic Party is grandstanding with high-profile speeches, sit-ins, and events to show voters they're doing everything in their power to fight back.

Senate Democrats plan to hold the floor hostage, delivering speeches over the coming nights to decry "100 days of hell" under Trump's administration. They'll link up with their House counterparts on the Senate steps the next day for emotional, showdown performances against Trump's agenda.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, ace orator, introduced the powwow on the Senate floor, saying, "We're gonna hammer the Republican agenda and Americans will see the difference between Democratic unity and Republican disarray. As long as Donald Trump pushes America down the dangerous road we’re on, he'll face resistance."

Unfortunately for the Dems, they're feeling the heat from disgruntled voters across the nation. A new CNN poll reveals that the Democratic base sports disapproving ratings for the party's congressional leadership – 61% disapprove and just 38% approve – with sour views specifically cast upon Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

To make matters worse, Democrats have been struggling to find ways to block the administration's policies since Republicans control the White House, the House, and the Senate. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin admits there's a palpable energy among Dems, but acknowledges their limited options in the circus of minority status in both the House and Senate.

Durbin recently announced he's ditched his spot as No. 2 in Senate Democratic leadership after holding the position for two decades. The new No. 2 will play a major role in setting the party's policies, politics, and messaging for the remainder of Trump's term, as Schumer's deputy.

Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz and Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have thrown their hats in the ring for the influential role.

Warren accepted some criticism from her base Monday, saying elected Dems need to do more to combat Trump. "We need every single Dem senator and rep to be in the fight every single day," she said.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar echoed Warren's sentiments, emphasizing her focus on policies to move the country forward amid Trump’s mess of a presidency.

Emboldened by a wave of public dissent, Democrat Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez at a recent town hall was met with shouts when questioned about the party's messaging and the need for more outrage.

While the party's strategies have garnered Republican criticism, some Dem leaders maintain there's more that can be done. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries declared, "Rallies, press conferences, demonstrations, sit-ins, town hall meetings in democratic districts, town hall meetings in Republican districts, days of action. More will continue to be more."
