Is this guy really a debating coach?

but Paul has little chance of winning the nomination; it's like shooting dead fish in a barrel.
Logical fallacy. He's citing as proof for his assertion something that hasn't been established yet. The real statement he's making is that Paul doesn't have a chance of winning. He's using the Santorum (2% in the polls) context to weasel an unsubstantiated attack on Ron Paul who is in the competitive (10%+) tier.
while many people might think parts of his anti-militarism message ring true, those people are not holding up the base of the Republican Party. When Paul said that Iran should get nuclear weapons, I thought I could hear a pin drop in that huge auditorium. Speaking of the Republican base. ...
Again, "Republican base" is a weasel expression. What is the "Republican base?" Has anybody established that yet?
If this guy really is a debate coach he should be fired. "Audience?" WTH is that? Debates are about strict logic. Logic does not have an "audience." The only true audience is God, or strict rationality for the non-religious folk.
