Can US Foreign Policy Survive Politicians ?

The question is almost to simple and obvious to even ask. Can the foreign policy of the USA withstand the constant onslaught from half the politicians in the country ?
Lets assume that half the US politicians are form one party and the other half is from the other party.
Thus, a resounding success of our foreign policy is bad news for half of the career politicians.
So the question evolves to:
How many career politicians are willing to set aside their own self-interests to support America and it's foreign policy ? 75 % ? , 50 % ? , 2 % ? .... Sadly, the answer is obvious.
Then pile on the career politicians from around the world who share the same low threshold of intellectual integrity and we arrive at the current world view of America.
Worse yet, we the public are too busy or too lazy to stand up and make ourselves heard by those politicians.
