A political machine is an unofficial system of political organization based on patronage, the spoils system, "behind-the-scenes" control, and longstanding political ties within the structure of a representative democracy. Machines sometimes have a boss, and always have a long-term corps of dedicated workers who depend on the patronage generated by government contracts and jobs. Machine politics has existed in many United States cities, especially between about 1875 and 1950, but continuing in some cases down to the present day. It is also common (under the name clientelism or political clientelism) in Latin America, especially in rural areas. Japan's Liberal Democratic Party is often cited as another political machine, maintaining power in suburban and rural areas through its control of farm bureaus and road construction agencies. The key to a political machine is patronage: holding public office implies the ability to do favors (and also the ability to profit from graft). Political machines generally steer away from issues-based politics, favoring a quid pro quo (something for something) with certain aspects of a barter economy or gift economy: the patron or "boss" does favors for the constituents, who then vote as they are told to. Sometimes this system of favors is supplemented by threats of violence or harassment toward those who attempt to step outside of it.

The modern nomination process includes several primary elections and the nomination is usually wrapped up before the convention. The candidates campaign for these elections by making speeches, making statements to the press and sometimes by a debate with the other candidates. Everything they say of note is reported to the nation, so their differences become public knowledge. Of course, if the nomination is still open at the convention, there would be major battles there, mostly behind the scenes.

The baroque style focused on portraits and scenes of ordinary life because protestants disapproved of religious imagery.

Portraits and scenes of ordinary life.
The Protestant disapproval of religious imagery led Dutch painters of the Baroque period to focus on idolatry.
I believe they were more ''genre artists'' ,in the sense that they were -inluenced by their religion which was and is , Protestantism -more focused on depicting every day life domestic scenes and also moralising scenes with emphasis on the details.This was not true for Italian artists for example, who depicted more allegorical and mythology-influenced scenes in their paintings. In the bottom line , I think the main differences were based on religion :Italy and other countries were expressing the baroque style in their churches and religious paintings or statues whereas Dutch baroque painters were restricted by Protestantism in depicting domestic scenes. In my opinion this fact helped them create masterpieces too and lead to the resurgence of many great artists of the time in Holland.

When someone is referred to as a political puppet it just means that they are really answering to someone behind the scenes and making sure that his/her agenda is being carried out.
The Baroque comes after the renaissance, i.e. late 16th century and most of the17th century.The Baroque movement encompasses architecture, religious paintings, and sculpture. Painters used rich colors and chiaroscuro (credited to Caravaggio) in their works. The figures in the paintings were naturalistic and frequently sported exaggerated gestures. The style was very emotional, and the scenes selected for the work were usually important and dramatic biblical scenes. The use of light was important in the artwork; it enhanced the experience of the scene.The most famous sculptor to come out of the Baroque period is without a doubt Bernini. His sculptures were extremely detailed. Bernini is arguably one of the most talented sculptors of all time because of the way he could manipulate the different textures of his subject in marble. He used large gestures that broke the plane of the sculpture to suggest drama and emotion. One of his most famous works is The Ecstasy of St. Theresa.One fundamental change that the Baroque style brought along in architecture was the use of the oval. Famously, St. Peter's Square, is memorable for its long oval shape. Baroque design also emphasized the use of light.
The black pants are not a problem. No one can ever wear a Christmas-themed sweater, however, especially not one with reindeer, candy canes, Santa sleighs or full baroque nativity scenes on them.
