The issue is that you think people are voting for policies. I don’t think that’s true anymore, and maybe it never was true.

  Even more reason one wouldn't expect voters to jump candidates or parties. Given the GP comment I assumed we weren't talking about that scenario where people are only a candidate or party voter.

    I didn’t say that they’re voting for a candidate and would never change their mind either.

      What are they voting for if not policy views, a particular candidate, or a particular party?

        People vote for a candidate’s vibes but they can change their minds if a better candidate comes along!

  People are definitely voting for policies. There was a study that found trump spent a higher percent of time talking about policies than Hillary. The PBS documentary on 2016 had an anecdote than in 2016 the trump rally crowd would chant things that became trump policies.
