I'm not sure there are any. The election of 2016 cemented voter trends that have been in progress since at least the 1960s and in that sense was probably the "least funky" election of all time (1976 was the "funkiest" in modern times, as strange as that seems). Could the Dems nominate someone more populist than Bernie? Could the GOP nominate someone more moderate than Kasich? Doubtful. R and D primary voters determine our choices long before a single GE vote is cast. The best hope is for a 3rd party candidate to come along who pulls in all the disaffected voter groups (those who voted or would have voted Anderson '80, Perot '92, Perot '96, Nader '00, Stein '12 or '16, Johnson '12 or '16, etc.)
