I'm not excited about a Trump presidency. But from 2009-2011 Democrats held majorities in both the House and Senate. Then was the time to get the major work done, legislatively, that could not be undone by another Executive Order.
Lieberman comes to mind. Senate Democrats needed 60 votes to overcome Republican filibusters on anything. This meant Lieberman, the Senator from Hartford, had veto power over anything. Obama campaigned for his re-election and Lieberman campaigned for McCain.

That's on Obama.
