If we see a change of political party in the executive branch and an overwhelming majority in both houses of congress from the same party after this fall's election, what sectors will be ripe for profit opportunities? What changes should businesses make to be poised to take advantage of new opportunities?

Debt collection, credit repair, mortuary homes, crematoriums, discount liquor stores, prostitution, drugs, gambling, numbers rackets, loan-sharking, private prisons and "homelessness" which is a nice $60 Billion a year industry that will allow you to engage in some profitable real estate scams to bilk tax-payers once the Democrats start flooding the social welfare trough with money.

I would consider looking at the Volker Years of the Fed, post the 1980 election.
After the elections (no matter which way they go) the bankers get to feed on the masses.
Not saying it will but it happened then, could happen now. Interest rates go to double digits. Stops inflation by re-valuing the dollar (and throwing everyone out of work). Smacks things down so hard, even energy demand drops and then so, oil, too. All the rest of the commodities drop, too. Including Gold and foreign currency.
Bankers and investors (who know it is coming) clean up big time, buying up distressed real estate from the folks wiped out in the economic crossfire. It will be "harvest time," and we are what is for lunch.
Defintely NOT transportation! Some years ago, Mike Starnes, the owner of the former MS Carriers (based in Memphis, TN) said: "If I had a million dollars, I wouldn't invest it in trucking". And the longer I stay in the industry, the more I see he is right. I'm not sure any sector of the transportation industry, be it trucking, aviation or railroads would be a good investment. But that's just my .02¢ worth...
Could oil futures possibly lose their steam as Congress eliminates the "Enron loophole" that shields energy futures from the scrutiny that other sectors of the futures markets must face?
