Julian Zelizer : Opponents of Donald Trump need to use every feasible lever of power to defeat him.

He says the Democratic response to Trump 's rise was based on a strategic error.

Zelizer says Biden and congressional Democrats saw Trump as an exception, so when they took power in 2020 , they returned to traditional, normal leadership activities. They performed admirably. But Democrats may have turned a double play, but the runner had gone to second and was punching the second baseman in the face.

Frida Ghitis : Democrats should play hardball to prevent Trump from exceeding his authority.

She says Obama administration's "fire first , litigate later" strategy would have significant effects, even if the employees won.

Ghitis says Democrats should hold hearings on Trump 's worst cabinet picks and most odious policy proposals.
