Ted Cruz Memes Show Why If #YouCruzYouLose

by Melissah Yang

Whether or not you support Ted Cruz, there's no denying his presidential bid broke the Internet as much as a politician could ever hope to do. After the Texas senator came out of the gates and officially launched the presidential election season, the Web saw an onslaught of the very best Ted Cruz memes that only seasoned online folks could produce. The nonstop vitriol even spurred the hashtag #YouCruzYouLose to trend on Twitter, as well as the hashtag #TedCruzCampaignSlogans.

Cruz has always been great fodder for the Internet mobs. People, in real time, tracked his famed 21-hour filibuster against Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act, back in 2013. Folks weren't too happy how often Cruz championed for government shutdowns as a bargaining tool to push forward the GOP's agenda. Also, when it comes to being compared to a blood-sucking vampire, Cruz has proven he won't sit back and get bit.

There was little surprise when the Internet exploded with Ted Cruz memes that questioned the Republican candidate for wavering on issues such as immigration and political gridlock. The 2016 presidential election is more than a year and a half away, and Cruz might have a head start on campaigning. But then again, so do his opponents.
