A new national survey from Public Policy Polling has confirmed what we all already knew to be true: As far as a good portion of the American public is concerned, Ted Cruz might as well be the Zodiac killer. PPP surveyed over 1,000 registered voters total, and of those people, an alarming number were not just suspicious but confident that man with too much skin Ted Cruz was, in fact, the Zodiac Killer. Unfortunately for Cruz, it looks like voters aren’t too keen on electing a cryptogram-loving mass murderer President. Of the remaining Republican lineup, Cruz gets a mere 10 percent of the vote while Trump takes home a remarkable 45 percent of the vote.
In the latest sign that we really should require voters to pass an IQ test prior to being allowed to enter a voting booth (“You must be THIS smart to vote), it seems a distressingly large cross-section of the American Sheeple are confident that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer.
While I have no doubt Cruz is the living embodiment of evil, he was born in 1970, meaning he’d have had to find a way to commit some of the murders prior to his birth and the rest in his infancy. As evil and malevolent a presence as Cruz may be, even I find that hypothesis to be something of a stretch.
And by popular demand 10% of FL voters think Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, 28% are not sure, and 62% say he isn't: https://t.co/6ZyzOyX2im

Then again, to paraphrase P.T. Barnum, nobody ever lost an election by underestimating the taste (or the limited collective intelligence) of the American public. When fully 38% of Floriduh voters think (“thinking” may be an overstatement) Cruz just might be the Zodiac Killer, it’s time for the adults to take over. As amusing as this meme may be, if you believe it could be true you’re clearly far too dangerously stupid to be trusted to faithfully and intelligently exercise your franchise.
If even 10% of voters are confident Cruz may well be the Zodiac Killer, I’d submit that a minimum IQ requirement for casting a ballot might just be long overdue. There are far too many truly, deeply stupid people voting as it is. If sheeple can be convinced of something so patently absurd, who knows what else they can be manipulated into believing?
Come to think of it, though, this sort of thing goes a long way toward explaining the current GOP frontrunner.
