Very interesting. Looks like the America Party is being created for Trump. Republicans are RINOS

Given human nature, as you described above, how about dynamic political parties. Each party forms for ONE issue and lasts for one session of congress. No unelected persons may be part of said party.
We can place other restrictions on the party as needed, but the bottom line is that the current system puts unelected persons (party leadership) between me and my duly elected representative.
The current party system has failed us.
Single-issue parties are perpetually doomed to irrelevance. You see what happens in the European countries where parliaments comprise multiple parties, and they struggle for dominance. Sometimes, a Hitler results.
It is also contrary to the nature of opposition. The two sides generally represent two major themes of thought, because all the issues are related, e.g., constitutionalism vs. straight democracy.
There is no "system" that puts a party between you and your representative. You should always be able to contact or see your representative. The only problem is if they hold you at a distance, in which case that would have been the wrong man in office. Which comes back to grass-roots politics and how that man was elected at all.
Are you serious?? The party members do what the party tells them and get nice, influential committee assignments, potentially with tons of perks.
Or don't do what the party leaders tell them and get doomed to irrelevance by having no political capital (read influence) to get anything done.
So, who voted these guys into office? There are people who have integrity, or we wouldn't be having the successful Beautiful Big Bill. You have work to do in removing the trash and putting in the right people. It's the old adage: If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
