As the Republican party continues to descend into flames and Trump gets closer to the official nomination, it is time to officially say goodbye to Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign. After failing to win Indiana, despite his conspiratorial plans to do otherwise, Cruz ended his hopes for the White House. Of course, of course, he couldn’t leave the race without one more cringe-inducing moment. As he went to hug his wife Heidi team on stage, he accidentally elbowed her right in the face.

Ted Cruz sadly picks up his Hockey Bat. He stands alone on his driveway and hits the soccer ball into the endzone. Home Run!

I'm wondering who Ted Cruz's partner on Dancing with the Stars will be. I'm hoping for either Ben Carson or Snooki

Never change, Ted. At least now you can run free and resume Zodiac Killer activities in relative peace.
I wonder what he's going to do next. pic.twitter.com/n1mrpBFZ8h
