Answer

In order for a political party to operate effectively, it must accomplish several basic but vital tasks: candidates must be vetted, decided upon, and promoted, campaigns must be put together and managed properly, and the public must be informed of the party’s ideas and platform. Without first attending to these matters– and attending to them in an intelligent and orderly manner – a party will find itself unable to perform any of the more complex maneuvers needed to gain an electoral victory. Parties must work diligently to establish a sturdy foundation if they and their candidates can ever hope to weather (much less triumph over) the tumultuous election cycle.
