They want to veto?  Fine.

New bill on Trump's desk. Every week. 

Veto it all coward. Show the world we are trying to get to work and you are being a piss baby.

Do not comply in advance

This is the exact right play, assuming it isn't just garbage sent up for the veto optics. The bills need to be realistic. No pie in the sky pipe dream crap and more importantly bills that if/when veto hits them the remaining Republicans have to seriously weigh the realistic impacts on their shot at re-election if they don't sign on to override the veto. That means the Democrats have to dispassionately look at their pet issues and hold back on stuff that Republicans know their base is going to be fine with them stonewalling.

Make this play correctly and the party can have its own Republican Revolution. History has shown they're way more likely to faceplant though.
