The start reality of our representatives is that most of them have their OWN self interests at heart! Who is more corrupt of the two (Republicans or Democrats)? Numbers don't lie:
And you're not even including Trump. I'm convinced that, in the end, even adding all of them will not equal Trump's final numbers.
I think calling both parties corrupt is a good start to an honest discussion. The problem is that no one will ever be indited for doing things that are perfectly legal. If you give your campaign contributors a no-bid government contract, its not considered corruption. Its just politics. If we were to include "legal corruption" I think we would have a close race. In CA, dems are in the lead on this issue.
