Was Ted Cruz in Stryper? (No. No He Was Not.)
We soon won’t have to worry much about Ted Cruz anymore as Donald Drumpf continues to hold the lead in the primary race for the Republicans’ next Presidential candidate, but for now, at least, we can still have some laughs at the Texas senator’s expense.
To that end, Metal Injection reports that The Daily Dot reports that author Michael Boulerice has a theory that Ted Cruz is, in fact, Michael Sweet, lead vocalist for Stryper and blasphemous supporter of sexual deviancy:
I’m not saying @tedcruz might be the lead singer of @Stryper. I’m saying he’s DEFINITELY the lead singer of Stryper. pic.twitter.com/GvfPKu2blz

Unsurprisingly, Boulerice’s tweet went viral. And while Cruz has yet to comment (presumably because to do so would be to demonstrate a sense of humor), Sweet did not hesitate to get in on the gag:
So I guess my doppelgänger is @tedcruz? Guess I better cancel the @Stryper tour so I can focus on my campaign;-) pic.twitter.com/3ODcvA0Bjd

Seen side-by-side today, Cruz and Sweet still bear a resemblance, so long as you imagine that Sweet fired his stylist and switched to an all-donut diet. Which is hilarious, because Sweet is seven years older than Cruz.
ANYWAY, fun though this theory is, it’s obviously bullshit. We all know that Cruz was, once upon a time, in a hair metal band — but it wasn’t Stryper!
