It is not complicated. Overwhelming percentage of voters (95%) do not know how their congress representative voted on 95% of the bills. Career politicians win elections is by Ads on TV & Radio. They depend on ignorance of 95% of voters.
That is why the rich donor class gets what they want, always. It is not because they have lot of votes in elections. It is because they fund lion’s share of campaign expenses. As an example, just 4 rich donors contributed nearly $40 Million to the Cruz for president campaign.
