national nominating party conventions  

Definición

  • ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO give citizens more direct control over whom their party nominated to run for president, national nominating party conventions also became an opportunity for parties to develop a platform of their beliefs and policy objectives. However, as primaries and caucuses have gained in importance, national nominating party conventions now serve to project party unity to voters, generate party pride, and build grassroots support for the nominee going into the campaign.
