Question

One of the primary dangers of the nomination campaign is that __________.

a. candidates can become overly cautious and not talk about issues
b. many candidates ignore their party's base
c. candidates raise too much money
d. candidates get too much media attention
e. candidates can become too ideologically extreme

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: E. candidates can become too ideologically extreme.

During nomination campaign, each candidate for the presidency would have to go pre-selection by appealing to the group of people from one specific political leaning. When this happen, candidates with an ideologically extreme view have a higher chance of obtaining votes.
