Take a deep breath, relax and try to comprehend what I am saying.
I will vote for the candidate that best matches my political views. In 2016 my 401k was the driving factor in who I would vote for. Under Bush, the stock market collapsed and whether you put the blame on Bush or not, I looked at the 2 candidates, Obama vs. McCain, and decided Obama was the best choice to bring the economy back to solid footing. His political stances on other issues took a seat way in the back in my decision.
In most elections I will look at a variety of issues -- the economy, immigration, health care, treatment of various groups (race, religion, sexual preference), women's rights, taxes, the deficit, foreign affairs, etc.
Obviously the incumbent has a track record on such issues. In most cases the challenger does not and a voter has to figure out which campaign "promises" are possible and which are not.
