She's not wrong in saying this.
Also, big government becomes self perpetuating. Need to elect some reps who are ready to serve only a couple of terms max (house) or one term (Senate) who will do what's best for the country and break up the party firsters and the lobby grifters.
Yep....I had hoped Trump was gonna be the wrecking ball to drain the swamp. But he just fell right into it himself.
It takes Congress to really drain the swamp.
To do that you have to make it illegal to profit from the position. Term limits, no stock trading for families and Staff, and open primaries would be a good start. Not happening, money pretty much runs things. Just look at your State politics, any State.
It's up to the voters to make all that happen.
And open primaries are not a good idea. Unless you want the biggest party selecting all the candidates coming out.
Campaigning must be shortened. All candidates able to get on a ballot should be able to put out their platform in common public spaces.
Parties need to lose power.
Open primaries let everyone compete. Closed primaries get you chosen candidates. Like CA, if the Dems don't get their act together you may get 2 Republicans.
