I would love it if the world were as you imagined it to be.
but it is a fact sadly, in a country where money and power are so ingrained in the US politics, people in power will do just about ANYTHING to do to remain in power. And that is true on the left and the right. And if someone gets dislodged from his/her seat it is mostly because new upstarts who are more liberal (on the left) and more extreme (tea party) on the right. Now there is a new phenomenon on the right and that is Trumpism, where solid and dependable conservatives get "attacked" by Trump supporters in the primaries if they are seen to be not as obedient and subservient to Trump as possible and if they are critical of Trump that is even worse.
