This is a very good question. Usually, the candidate tells his constituents that he will uphold his political party's values and policies. If he does not do what he says and thinks he is above the very people who elected him, they will have the opportunity to vote him out of office the next time around. So, I guess a candidate can turn on his political party and think he/she is more important. But then, he/she will find out that in reality, his importance become impotency.

The candidate represents the political party and visaversa. Once president he dosnt have to do anything with the party he was affiliated with. The main reason we have political parties is to simplify the voting process. If you saw a list of 20 names, you would not know waht they represent. If you see republican or demecrat next to the name , most people can know who they want to vote for.

well some may well think so but as we have seen in the past the candidate can be replaced or ousted if they falter from delivering the needs of those who truely posess the power, those who financially support the political parties.

The party should not matter at all, anybody can say they are a member of a arty that doesn't mean they really give a crap about those issues... IE Rudy and Hillary.
