Politicians are already Independent of their party label. U.S.
political parties are unique. They were "reformed" about a century ago.

Great Quote from 1927
"Here in the last generation, a development has taken place which finds
an analogy nowhere else. American parties have ceased to be voluntary
associations like trade unions or the good government clubs or the
churches. They have lost the right freely to determine how candidates
shall be nominated and platforms framed, even who shall belong to the
party and who shall lead it. The state legislatures have regulated
their structure and functions in great detail."
