Who else could get Medea Benjamin to apologize for interrupting and call him a patriot.

Not only that, he kept the audience from lynching her while she was talking. Plus, there was another annoying freakbag at the same event, Cruz deftly played him against Benjamin.

And Cruz still managed to stick to guns. I bet half the "protesters" there ended up questioning their raisons d'etre.

Of course I like Cruz for this. Trump is seeking to channel the common outrage, what H.L. Mencken characterized as Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The only problem with that of course is when you go pirate, it's difficult to come back to civilization. Of course we may have to, consider TEOTWAWKI. At that point speeches and debate and money matter little, though.

It started a fight between the code pink clowns on twitter for a few days. Some were saying that Ted Cruz had shown more respect for them than the democrats who would have had them removed without a word. On the other side they were saying it was a betrayal to even speak to Ted Cruz and he had gotten the best of them.
