By the third Philippic in 3-4-1 he's got his winners themselves because Philip has started to show himself to be treacherous. Demosthenes doesn't just build up a picture of Philip as a traitor but he says we've got traitors amongst us. He implicitly accuses other politicians of actually being in Philip's pay and therefore giving advice, bad advice to the assembly which they follow. So I think that's important as well it's not just about Philip the enemy, it's about the enemy within.
