110. People vote emotionally, not rationally.

They're not thinking about ideology, they're not thinking about political philosophy, they're not thinking about legislative process.

All they're thinking is that they don't like what the Democrats are doing. The only way they can register their disapproval is by voting against the Democrat. Their vote is their ONLY means of sending a message.

So, when you want to convey the message that "you guys are pissing me off", the clearest way to send that message is by voting for the other guy.
