Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Highlight that presidential candidates must first appeal to voters within their political party to win their party's nomination in the presidential primaries.
2. Describe the types of conservative partisans to whom Republican candidates must appeal to gain the nomination. For example, in 2012, voters in caucuses and primaries were more likely to be white and male, to have a college education, and to make more than 100,000. Most supported the Tea Party, and more than half were Evangelical Christians.
3. Point out that candidates have to alter their approach to appeal to the general population during the general election.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Define both winner-take-all (a single winner by majority or plurality vote) and proportional representation (winners split based upon the proportion of votes).
2. Highlight and discuss the significance of America's winner-take-all voting system for its political parties.
