Viral Video Wars: Is Cruz Elbowing His Wife’s Face Worse Than Grabbing Fiorina’s Hand?

Ted Cruz‘s campaign may be over, but the viral videos the man starred in will live forever. Remember the time a mysterious something flew out of his mouth and landed on his lip and everyone talked about it for days? How about his daughter flicking him away from her? What about the clip of him saying, “Not gonna happen!”? (That one, in retrospect, is now pretty jarring, considering the context.)

Just two days ago, in what we now know to be the death rattle of the dying campaign, a horrifically discomforting video of Cruz and running mate Carly Fiorina attempting to clasp hands was all over the Internet. Now, we have this:

It is no better at different speeds or angles.

Heidi Cruz got elbowed hard in the face just after her husband announced that he was ending his bid for the highest office in the nation. It’s harsh. It’s definitely harsh.

Even today on the View, the ladies were much more interested in watching this clip than listening to Whoopi Goldberg address the racism she sees

So, between the hand-holding thing and the elbow-to-the-face thing, which viral Cruz video is the worst? (And by worst, I mean best.)
