I wouldn't expect much from these guys. We didn't get much out of the Clinton years either.

Basically, the entire system is dysfunctional. Some say that it is meant to be a difficult and slow process to get anything accomplished in Congress. I wouldn't even be all that optimistic about a Democratic president and veto-proof congress.

Basic common sense doesn't exist. There is little common ground. The only parts of the equation that matter are money and power. That pretty much ensures that few of these measures you cited have a chance of being enacted.
