"Is there some prospect of a benefit from pleasing such voters?"
Professor, I cut that sentence off because such voters represent the willful decline and ultimate destruction of the United States of America and its citizens and there is absolutely NO benefit associated with pleasing these reprobates, PERIOD. It is true that some of them might be so congenitally stupid as to not actually realize the dire consequences of their senseless, slavish devotion to the cult of leftist ideology, but the vast majority of them act and speak out against the best interests of their fellow citizens and even themselves out of either willful ignorance or perverted animus. Therefore, no one should have a care in the world about trying to please these cretins - there is no benefit to be had from doing so.
