11. Yes, but the appeal each time was factual, intellectual. Needs to be emotional.

Each time a supporter of his makes a bit of a complaint, find the emotion in it and amplify it.

"Man, Christmas is going to be more expensive this year."
"Yeah, me too. But hey, he got his Christmas present in May and all golden too."

So there it's not talking about emoluments or technical issues around bribery, it connects with the emotions. Show him living it up while the supporter is struggling.
