Welp, We Can All Go Home Now Because Ted Cruz Just Owned Deadspin

Twitter can be a dicey place. On Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made it somewhat magical by completely owning the website Deadspin in just two tweets.

Let's present this as act in four parts:

Act I: Sports website Deadspin attempts to embarrass Ted Cruz on Monday afternoon.

FULLER'S NOTE: There's some pretty hilarious stuff here.

I'm kinda out of touch with these kinds of meme battles but my daughter assures me Ted acquitted himself very well.

Trump should follow Ted Cruz's example.  If you have to respond to nastiness, this is how you do it. With class and a bit of humor.

I don't know why the writers are so surprised.  Cruz is very witty.

Only one time have I seen one that was better. It was when David Price went to Detroit and the Tampa got pissy about it.

Funny on TOS the hate for Cruz is running rampant and the nicest thing they can say is that Cruz is following Trump's example, what a joke, as if Cruz insulted or made baseless accusations against someone's family members.

The TOS crowd went "'round the bend" a good while ago.  They cannot distinguish between delusion and reality.   It's kinda sad.  At one time, great minds posted there.  Now those minds have turned into mush.

Scattered among the still-spittle flecked haters there are a number of TOSsers most generously 'forgiving' Cruz for his primary performance and promising to withhold their vitriol provided Cruz genuflect to the president to their satisfaction.
