After months of trying to vie for votes, all while making everyone cringe and want to take a shower every time he speaks, Ted Cruz has officially ended his campaign for president. This decision also officially puts the dagger into the Republican Party a little deeper, essentially killing the entire party, as Donald Trump prepares to be the nominee.
But of course Ted Cruz wanted to leave behind one more memorable moment: punching and elbowing his wife in the face, in what looks like a “Street Fighter” combo hit:

What a lasting image.
The Internet was also quick to poke fun at Cruz and his failed campaign. Check out some of the best reactions:
I’m wondering who Ted Cruz’s partner on Dancing with the Stars will be. I’m hoping for either Ben Carson or Snooki

When Ted Cruz looks in the mirror he sees Reagan which is ridiculous because Ted Cruz has no reflection

Ted Cruz achieved so much more than he ever should have with that face. It’s impressive #TedCruz

See ya, Ted. We hardly knew you. Actually, we did know you. Way too much for our comfort.
