People often vote based on a candidate's personality rather than ideology. Both Obama and Trump come off as "cool" (I'm not sure how else to describe it), manly men who get the job done and you can drink a beer with afterwards. Romney and Hillary come off as cold and calculated.
That's my best explanation.

My brother voted for Obama in 2008 because he opposed the war in Iraq, didn't vote in 2012 because he was turned off by the Democrats' focus on social justice issues, and supported Trump initially because he is a businessman, until I sent him a link to Trump's comments about Mexicans. He still liked Trump more than Hillary, but he didn't vote and has very little interest in politics anymore.
