Exactly. If you want to be a successful politician you need two things: campaign money and support from your base. Campaign money comes from (mostly) the same corporations - so there is absolutely some cross-over between the parties. But that doesn't mean they can do whatever they like and get reelected. They have significantly different bases they still have to keep happy.
