I guess we'll see how much of the Constitution Trump can restore. It's going to be interesting. I'd say the more people we elect, the better, accountability-wise, but the people are sleeping and are at least yawning and showing signs of life with the advent of Trump.

All makes me think of what we've lived through, from landing on the Moon to the Vietnam War, OPEC and now Jihad.

The political environments at the state level are more corrupt than at the federal level? No ... while it is true that any government can become corrupt ... the federal government is just as, if not more so, corrupt than any other government entities in this country. It is simply easier for the federal government to hide its corruption than it is for state governments, IMHO. State governments are closer to the people, if you will, than the federal government ... and, as such, are easier for the voters to remedy, if needed. If a state's citizens do not like the senators picked by their legislature, then they can vote to change out their state legislators - legislators who cannot run away to Washington, D.C. to hide away from the voters. With the advent of the 17th Amendment, the federal government has contemptuously ignored the 10th Amendment and run roughshod over the states.
