Sure the democrats can hold anyone accountable, if they're from an opposing political party. When it comes to holding their own accountable? Forget it.

He's put himself in a very vulnerable position, with powerful enemies within his own party and no friends whatsoever on the other side of the aisle. Add to that his determination to make the media a hated enemy, and his base of support in DC is pretty weak.
Any missteps and his majority in congress will quickly turn into a lynch mob eager for his scalp. Those senators and congressmen have to be very attuned to the opinions of their constituents. Trump can bluster and blather all he wants to about rigged polls. His reluctant allies in the house and senate interested in re-election follow them closely. And they realize that Trump's "big win" is a fluke. None of them is ready to sacrifice his seat to go down with Trump. Especially when the public isn't behind him.
IF he screws up?
He's already blown his 100-day honeymoon and he hasn't even put his hand on the Bible yet.
Obviously, you don't know how American politics work.
A minority that holds together can make s president's life hell. You're assuming that Republicans will hold together in the majority. They didn't do it the last few times they had a majority, and they won't do it now. Moreover, Dems don't really need a fractured Republican Party to to wreak havoc. But there will be a fractured Republican Party regardless so that makes it far easier.
Remember Repubs...Trump won. Republicans won nothing. I don't know anything about Donald Trump, and you guys know even less than I do. You voted for him on a lark...not because you know his political philosophy or whether or not he's competent. You DON'T know either. All you know is that he's not Hillary. That's it.
You'd better hope you made the right bet. I know for a fact that you're all terrified that you didn't...but you'll never admit it here. You don't have to though. The more cocky and garrulous you are about this whole thing, the more scared I know you are.
I'm just gonna sit back and watch the show. I've got a big enough bag of popcorn to last four years! I'm gonna enjoy it too.
You will not need a bag of popcorn to last that long. The GOP will rid themselves of him much earlier on.

Our Country began with underestimating a 'rag tag bunch of protesters'. Famous last words.
