The Party Leaders have a variety of ways of rewarding "good" behavior and punishing "bad" behavior. It starts with the assignment of office space and a parking space. It goes on to the very vital distribution of financial assistance in re-election campaigns. It also includes assignment to Committees and Sub-Committees. Some carry prestige; others do not.
THAT is why it is nonsense to say you vote for the individual, regardless of Party. Party membership will determine how the candidate will vote after being elected.

My friend, it is not a "simple fact" but rather a "complex fact" of what you speak.
Of what you speak begs he question as to why? More exactly as to whom? Many people won't or can't grasp the concept that a "Deep State"( Shadow government, Global /Establishment) exists and it runs this nation.
Deep State views elected officials as temporary employees, especially the position of president, a position that will hold no longer than 8 years.
If a person wants to be elected then they must fall in line with Deep State or at least not interfere with these career federal government employees long term and continuous agenda.
Its why Trump has shocked Washington when he got elected. Hillary was bought and paid for it was here costs of doing business and she failed to everyone's surprise
Trump enters as a maverick but watch what happens to him. Watch Trump end up bending to Deep State. Those in Congress who last tread very lightly and carefully.
All governments are amoral and they don't care about right or wrong but only power and control. the defining difference is in the manner they apply to control its people. some by force and fear others by entitlements or regulations and indeed keep them off balance and pre-occupied with issues that divide them because it plays right into Deep States hands
In economics it is referred to as Adams Invisible Hand.
