Woj's comment shows how bad it's become. There are only one winner from that clause and it's not the American People. How do Americans fix it? Make politicians fear them, make good people believe things can change so they stand and win without the need of billionaire backers.

That's the thing. You make it sound like it is as simple as voting for someone else. What I am saying is that in many cases there are no "other" options. The President can only do so much and as we are starting to see Trump is surrounding himself with lifelong politicians and the Senate Majority Leader has already said that term limits will not happen under his watch.
To really fix things we need to vote out the House and Senate. In this election, my House representative was running unopposed, so there was no other option. Our Senator did have competition, but one of them was a lifelong politician and the other three were crazy people.
Sadly, the system is so saturated with lobbyist and outside influence not only from rich, powerful people, but from other countries as well, that changing it is going to be nearly impossible.
