Actually, the rich seem to be pretty intelligent since they give money (which is probably worth more than votes) to any and all candidates to hedge bets.

I remember when people were mocking the Russian presidential election when Putin won 99% of the vote in Chechnya, and people claimed this demonstrated clear corruption in the political. 96% is 3% off from that comical statistic that made Russia a punchline for a week.
Hillary Clinton gets it. That's why she shamelessly panders to the black vote. She knows kissing ass works when nearly the entire demographic is uninformed or one issue voters.
What percentage of Irish Americans voted for John F. Kennedy?
Hell, I can give anecdotal evidence... Every single person in my extended family who could vote, voted for Michael Dukakis. And all those Greek family members are registered Republican (albeit not socially conservative). Shit, my grandfather voted only for Democrats after Bush defeated Dukakis only because the Republicans beat a Greek-American.
Hell X2, I bet you could look at Trump supporters and use identity-politics. "Hey, here's a candidate that finally cares about poor and middle class white men!"
