Cruz 'Rickrolls' his supporters about Trump and more April Fools' Day gags
CNN ^ | April 1, 2016 | Gregory Krieg

Ted Cruz has been challenging Donald Trump to debate him, one-on-one, for months. Today, Trump agreed.

Or not. The Texas senator employed the trolling meme — in which a video is interrupted by a clip of one-hit wonder Rick Astley singing his 1987 song, "Never Gonna Give You Up" (a gag commonly referred to as "Rickrolling") — as his way of informing the viewer that there would be no showdown.

Cruz thinks he’s a lot cooler, funnier, more normal than he actually is.

This is a very pathetic attempt at being funny. NOT.

Cruz is an amateur actor from college, a debate team member, and only idiots play another man.

He was better off mis-quoting that lame “American President” movie.

Welcome to 2008, Ted. The world has changed a lot since then. If you’re listening to this guy, Donald J. Trump, you might hear of some real issues of concern to most of us.

When he loses the run, he will also probably lose his senate seat. He is auditioning for Red Eye.

Ha! Rick-rolling stopped being cool in 2008! Rafael is like the nerd trying to fit into the cool kid’s clique.

LOL, that's why you're a Trump supporter.

As opposed to supporting a Canadian-born Cuban who's even more ineligible for POTUS than Obama was.

Cruz is like a Barry Manilow concert. Little, old ladies flock to his concerts, still find the canned shtick funny, and believe he’s straight.

“He’s such a nice boy.”
