In $\bigtriangleup ABC$ , $D$ is a point on side $\overline{AC}$ such that $BD=DC$ and $\angle BCD$ measures $70^\circ$ . What is the degree measure of $\angle ADB$ ?

size(300);
defaultpen(linewidth(0.8));
pair A=(-1,0),C=(1,0),B=dir(40),D=origin;
draw(A--B--C--A);
draw(D--B);
dot("$A$", A, SW);
dot("$B$", B, NE);
dot("$C$", C, SE);
dot("$D$", D, S);
label("$70^\circ$",C,2*dir(180-35));\ (Error making remote request. Unknown error_msg)

$\textbf{(A) }100\qquad\textbf{(B) }120\qquad\textbf{(C) }135\qquad\textbf{(D) }140\qquad \textbf{(E) }150$
