Political corruption and how to stop it

The 2016 primary season for determining the presidential candidates has uncovered numerous areas of political corruption. Both parties are guilty. Both parties have their elites. They wield great power.  They are entrenched in decisions that multiply their wealth. Have you ever noticed that new members of Congress enter with moderate income but leave as multi-millionaires.

The democrats have their super delegates.  Before the primary season had really started, they all pledged their votes for Clinton. Sanders had an almost insurmountable disadvantage to overcome. Clinton had numerous meetings with a few people around a table. Sanders had numerous rallies where thousands attended. He came close but did not make it successfully. He had great support from the voters and won many states where he was not expected to compete.

Trump faced 16 other candidates. Many were well funded by the elites. He had numerous rallies with thousands attending. He ended up getting a record number of votes in his party’s primaries. After winning the primary election process he became the presumptive party nominee. Then what happened? The elites spoke out against him. Many said they would never vote for him. It got worse. The elites started a project labeled Never Trump.

Could the two parties split? One for the elites with the name being the same? Another being the voters opposing the elites? What if we had four parties instead of two? Gridlock as we now have it would end. No longer could a single party stop legislation when there are four parties. Sounds great to me.
