29. When he does something you don't like, criticize it. But it makes no sense to bash him when he is
clearly going to be making an argument that you agree with - which is what it looks like the Tuesday speech is going to be.

Criticizing both the good and the bad diminishes the credibility of the arguments against the bad.

It looks like the case he is going to make - using the bully pulpit, framing the issue of the 99% vs 1% - should be something all Democrats (except maybe the most conservative Democrats) would cheer. Immediately slamming it seems unnecessary and counterproductive.
