It's an illogical argument.
It is hardly illogical. Let's use another example. Say Obama actually came out in support of same sex marriage early in his presidency. Do you not think that would shift attitudes further down the line, that it would have a ripple effect within his own party? People would take note, they would register that the leader of the entire party has made a public statement out of line with current party position. If you don't think that would be a significant sea change for that issue you're fooling yourself.
