His DUTY is to represent the people who voted him into office by supporting the creation of law and policy that improve the life, livelihood, and security of the US, and to uphold and defend the Constitution.
His JOB is to get re-elected. Which means that he needs to collect as much money as he can, which means he has to pander to the big-money contributors.
A GOOD senator takes his DUTY as more important than his job, and will not take money from people who want him to do something that would damage his constituents or his nation.
If you run across one, let me know. I've never seen one. :)

Getting re-elected; sad, but true - and the evidence is the average 4-5 hours a day each of them spends dialing-for-dollars.
