[EL] a new topic: parties and nominees post Nov

[Hess, Doug]

What institutional relationship do party nominees have to their party after November? In particular, do they have any party leadership role if they lose?

E.g., assuming Clinton wins, what relationship would Trump have to the GOP post-November? I don't really know how party leadership is chosen. Do nominees get some seats or a voice; do their delegates? Certainly, the Democrats are likely to face their own internecine battles, but I'm curious if Trump's bashing of the GOP means tensions will continue once the election is over other than tension with his supporters.
