In fact, Cruz’s people have buried the Zodiac Killer search so far in the web that Google won’t suggest that he’s the Zodiac Killer when you type in “Is Ted Cruz the…” Instead take a look at what pops up.
Of course, “Is Ted Cruz the Zodiac Killer?” blows all those searches out of the water. So clearly the Cruz campaign has pulled a fast one over on Google or paid Google off or figured out a way to trick the internet. Now we’re not saying that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, but this seems exactly like the kind of shady business the Zodiac Killer might be up to….
