The Ability of Political Parties to Win Political Offices Depends

The ability of political parties to win political offices depends on successful candidate recruitment, which involves:

A) successfully gaining loyalty pledges from up-and-coming state and local officials, mirroring how college football coaches recruit players from high schools.
B) winnowing down lists of candidates provided by political talent scouts, and selecting the best ones to run for public offices.
C) nominations of up-and-coming political talent from party leaders as well as party members in Congress, the White House, or the top levels of state government.
D) identifying strong candidates and trying to interest them in running for public offices when seats or positions are open.
