Why do people support who they do?

I am really tired of people that support candidate XXX because "they do". I have a novel way to quickly determine if someone has any clue what they are talking about in their support of a candidate.

When someone is express support for one candidate, ask them the following question:

"What is one thing on which you disagree with candidate XXX?"

If they give you an intelligent answer, they have at least thought about their support.

By the way, the opposite also works (i.e. "What is one thing you on which you agree with the candidate you oppose?")
