It’s the end of the year, and time for end-of-the-year roundups. Here are the Top Five Ted Cruz Twitter Burns of 2017:

1) Ted Cruz Pwns Deadspin

Cruz’s response:

(Hint: that’s not really him. It’s Duke’s Grayson Allen.) Deadspin made the mistake of responding in the following churlish fashion:

Cruz kept his cool and responded with this:

2) Ted Cruz Pwns New York Times Reporter

3) Ted Cruz Pwns Ben Sasse

After Ben Sasse did a humorous video apology to Ted Cruz for spilling a Dr. Pepper on him, a Twitter wag made this joke:

4) Ted Cruz Pwns Rand Paul

Cruz got back at Paul pretty good. Everyone I read this to said: “Whoa.”

Whoa.

Finally, we have this:

5) Ted Cruz Pwns Bernie Sanders

Cruz responded with this:

Chances of this: zero. But it was good for Cruz to call Bernie’s bluff.
