Description

Book Synopsis
Based on 2016, it might seem that the national parties have little control over who becomes their presidential candidate. Yet the parties wield more influence than voters in determining who prevails at the National Conventions. The Primary Rules illuminates the balance of power that the parties, states, and voters assert on the process.

Trade Review
The presidential nomination field is in need of longer works that discuss and interweave the various complex elements of the process. Jewitt fills in important information on how rules matter in presidential nomination politics."" - Barbara Norrander, University of Arizona
