Ted Cruz put his well-honed extemporaneous speaking skills to good use recently when a pair of liberal students attempted to corner him on climate change in New Hampshire.
The GOP presidential hopeful was especially on point during a lengthy back-and-forth with a liberal student named Kaity Thomson, who attempted to get Cruz to admit that he is anti-science and conceals a sinister agenda that forces him, for political reasons, to deny mankind’s role in effecting climate change.
It didn’t go well for the young activist. She posted a transcript of their exchange on her YouTube channel, along with this video, but she might have been better off cutting out the last portion of their conversation:

Here’s how Cruz pretty much isolated the problem in Thomson’s — and, by extension, all faithful progressives’ — argument:
Cruz- “Can I ask you Kaity, is there a single issue on any public policy issue whatsoever that you disagree with the standard liberal position?”
Kaity- “Probably.”
Cruz- “Can you name one?”
Kaity- “I’d rather not right now. This is what I really care about. Climate change. This is what I really care about. This is what I’m voting on.”
Cruz- “And your professors are engaging in indoctrination rather than teaching facts and evidence.”
Kaity- “That is absolutely untrue.”
Cruz- “I would just encourage you to question what they are telling you.”
Kaity- “I do. I question you.”
Cruz- “But have you ever questioned the left?”
Kaity- “Absolutely, every day.”
