Every sensible person in the GOP wanted Kasich. But the sensibility that made him attractive to them I believe also brought them to a grudging acceptance of the fact he could not win. While this was going on, Hillary was being pushed to plagiarize Bernie. By default, these people see Trump as the only hope for regulatory relaxation. And though the math is bad for him on the surface, nobody can call him a sure loser anymore. The comeback to that is, "Yeah, well you told me he'd be out of the primaries by months ago!"
Hillary is probably going to relax regs as well. But why not bet on the sure thing?
From my outside NY perspective, community and small bankers have a uniquely strong hatred for Obama. A lot of the regs aimed at the big banks are applied in a one size fits all fashion to the little guys. And the new Dodd Frank rules regarding mortgage and loan processing frustrate the shit out of them. I don't know it's true or not, but that's a constant bitch I hear.
