72. Well done, Will!
I don't have any critiques with regards to the content at all. You made your points well. I was impressed to say the least.

Non-content related suggestions: If it's possible to look confident and uncomfortable at the same time, you did it. Someone else mentioned eye contact. Don't squint or furrow your brow. That makes it look like you're thinking too hard. Watch Hannity in action, and you'll know why that's a bad thing. Relax.

Don't trail off at the end of sentences. That implies that everyone knows how you're going to finish your point. Not everyone is that smart. To be honest, I only noticed that once but I'm being picky.

When you reply to someone else's statement, say their name. Example: "No, it wasn't true, Assmaster, but that was the rhetoric".

Smile more when you're addressing a question. Makes you seem more "honest" to the average viewer.

I'd still give you an "A", though. I hope to see you with your own show one day, Will. You'd absolutely kill. I hope I get to buy you a beer in Bloomington.
