There are two major parties in America. They are the Democratic party and the Republican party. One of them always wins the presidency and most Congressional candidates belong to one of them. Both parties often contain factions that vie for control of the party. Compromises are usually made to keep everybody within the party as happy as possible and if a candidate favoring one faction loses the opposing faction will probably get more of a voice at the next convention.
