I once thought the same thing. I am from the red party, so I vote red most of the time. However, the current red candidate is dangerous. I'll explain why. Someone who makes arbitrary decisions, can make any decision. Even if they agree with your principals, and on the surface Mr. Red argues for Red policies (e.g. reducing illegal immigration), their actual implementation of it is atrocious (e.g. massive concentrations camps at the border, huge budget overruns, and tacit violations of civil liberties) and the results are poor in practice (e.g. fewer deportations than Mr. Blue who came before him). A person who doesn't have consistent core beliefs, will always release an incoherent plan. The Blue's may not see eye-to-eye with me, but at least their practices are understandable and can simply be rolled back in the next term. Disclaimer: I may be biased, because shortly after taking office Mr. Red was photographed smiling next to a dictator who recently murdered a student in my alma mater university.
