Ted Cruz is Probably the Only Human That Ever Got Code Pink to Shut Up and Listen

There is no other candidate for President who could, as Senator Ted Cruz has, controlled a chaotic situation, directed and encouraged dialogue between two very different philosophical viewpoints, and at the same time, exposed the extreme American Left for who they are, and how they come to their conclusions.
The “spokesman” Cruz is discussing the situation with Iran with, is Medea Benjamin. Ms. Benjamin is the co-founder of Code Pink, a group that is a product of the war in Iraq, and since that war began, has done pretty much what you see here when there is a rally against the Islamic State of Iran and the nuke deal, but also whenever there is a rally against Islamic extremism, or a rally for Israel.
Benjamin is Jewish, yet supports the Palestinians against Israel. She and Code Pink were some of the first instigators of the whipping up of anger against Mubarak in Egypt during the “Arab Spring” that ended up electing Morsi, the radical who is now awaiting fulfillment of his own death sentence. And as you can see from the video, she equates resistance to the Iran deal with the murderous intentions of the “Death to America” Iranian leadership.
Most politicians get the protesters removed, like John McCain did recently, and Obama did recently. Only Ted Cruz brought them to the fore, addressed their ideological assumptions, and for once, got Medea Benjamin to shut up and listen.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

Code Pink are a waste of oxygen and other human excretions...
Speaks volumes about Ted and his abilities though.

Indeed.
I think plenty of panic will set in for the MSM when the debates begin. I may like Walker more, but Cruz is going to leave a lot of people who have no idea what he’s about awe-struck.

The Bible instruct us on how to choose leaders and I can think of no better test:
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect.
(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of Gods church?)
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devils trap.
In the same way, deacons[b] are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain.
They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
In the same way, the women[c] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.
Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 3:1-13
Who among the candidates meets this criteria?

I never underestimate the power of denial and self delusion by liberals.
