Trump will be quite favorable to corporate interests broadly, and unless a given issue can wait 2-4 years, the window for modest liberal consideration closes upon his inauguration. We tend to respond quickly to charismatic leaders in this country. However, if you want to reach Mr. Trump, I suppose talking to libertarian or paleoconservative influencers might be useful.
