Say you know a kid that kicks you every day, and calls you names, and is just all around horrible to you. Suddenly, they shows up one day, and ways to be all buddy buddy with you. Are you going to trust them?
Switching political sides is like kicking one group, and then trying to be friends with them next. The politician is untrustworthy, and therefore, not liable to get the votes needed.
