This is why it is SO important to move forward a bold agenda ASAP once the new administration takes office.  I didn't support Trump, and certainly didn't support Clinton, but I at least see glimmers of hope that maybe he will do some positive things.  Toward the top of the list is a repeal of Dodd/Frank, as VP and I think one or two others have previously discussed.  If this is accomplished, that opens up a whole new list of potential funders.  The problem is that the Senate democrats still have enough numbers to filibuster any legislation, so a number of democrats would have to support such a repeal. 

An optimistic scenario is that enough democrats coming up for re-election in 2018 see what has happened to them in the last several cycles that they do some soul searching and decide to do the right thing, even if for the wrong reasons (self-preservation).  Given that Senate democrats will be defending somewhere around 25 seats in 2018, it really is possible that this could happen.
