Huge Day For Ted Cruz - Gets His Trump Nickname Upgraded from "Lyin' Ted" to "Beautiful Ted"

Ted Cruz walking into work today:

It’s a beautiful thing, watching enemies become friends, burying the hatchet and moving on after years of contempt and insults.

Don’t get me wrong – it’s been a long road back for Ted Cruz.  He’s been fighting tooth and nail to get his good name back.  Scratching and clawing.  It wasn’t too long ago that he was the laughing stock of the blogs for calling a basketball hoop a “basketball ring” on the Hickory High court from Hoosiers.

Well he took all the heat, let it marinate, then stepped up and whooped Jimmy Kimmel’s ass in hoops:

After displaying a crossover and finish that would make Tim Hardaway jealous.

And don’t forget he was firing live bet bullets on his campaign bus during UNC/Nova.

Also wasn’t too long ago that we heard Ted got back from his honeymoon and his first move was to drive to the store to buy 100 cans of soup.  We watched his own daughter avoid contact with him.

We watched his freshman year college roommate bury him with an avalanche of mean spirited tweets.   We watched as other politicians and media members took shot after shot at him.  His own father accused of killing JFK.  JFK!

But he took it all in stride, bided his time, and lived long enough to see the day that his idol, his hero, Donald Trump finally let him back into the circle and dropped the embarrassing qualifier from his name.  No more Lyin’ Ted.

Say hello to “Beautiful Ted.”

Also, Texas Ted.  Beautiful Texas Ted.  What a rebrand.  What a moment for Ted.  His dad still killed JFK, but still – at least he’s no longer lyin’.
