That's obviously not true. An easy example:
"I will never vote for a person who supports general warrants"
I can apply that to the candidates, and it's extremely helpful in filtering out the really bad ones. That one issue - being in favor of general warrants - is more than enough to disqualify a candidate as being worthy of the presidency.
As with any filter and context, it depends on what filter you choose to you apply, and sometimes how many filters.
