While the results of that poll reflect some participants being facetious, it does highlight an interesting fact about this election: internet memes and hashtags such as #ZodiacTed are having a real impact on the perception, the favorability, and ultimately the electability of presidential candidates. Candidates on both sides have spent time being shelled by the internet’s meme-cannon, but the salvos fired on the Republican side have been particularly brutal. Marco Rubio has enjoyed being #LittleMarco, Jeb Bush was too #LowEnergy to keep up with this year's primary, and it seems that #HungryKasich's restaurant tour has finally come to an end. However, during the primaries no candidate was meme-d quite as hard as #LyingTed Cruz.

Cruz has been under fire from all social media outlets, and with particular zeal by 4chan’s /pol/, Reddit’s /r/The_Donald, and Donald Trump’s very own outspoken twitter feed. At this point it might actually be impossible to catalog every Ted Cruz meme on the internet, but I want to focus on one particular campaign that may have been the final nail in the coffin of the Cruz candidacy.
