WASHINGTON – Ted Cruz appeared to declare the Donald Trump/Hillary Clinton race all but over—before taking that call back.
The Texas Senator and runner up to the GOP nomination tweeted Sunday: “Why conservatives will need a new party if/when Hillary wins.”
The conservative firebrand last month reluctantly endorsed The Donald– despite holding a grudge against the billionaire for insulting his wife’s appearance and speculating his father was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
His public declaration against the GOP nominee drew immediate attention and the tweet was mysteriously deleted later Sunday.
Cruz appeared to be linking to a Conservative Review article that predicted Clinton will be elected president Nov. 8 and true conservatives should break from the GOP to form a new opposition party.
“In a constitutional system that is working properly — with a party that cares to exercise its power appropriately — Hillary’s presidency should be dead on arrival,” author Daniel Horowitz wrote. The article also takes a jab at fellow Texas Senator John Cornyn for suggesting Republicans could work with Clinton on criminal justice reform. In another bizarre twist, Cruz denied posting the tweet and implied his account could have been a hacked.
“That was not tweeted by Sen. Cruz or an authorized handler of the account knowingly. It has been pulled down and we have reached out to Twitter to determine the source,” said Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier.

Did you read the article? Apparently his twitter account was hacked.
Cruz and Levin already have their new party.
It’s called the NeverTrump party.
It was the Russians.
Two POSes. Try helping him win you turdbuckets!!
Was Mark Levin’s hacked too?
Levin is an effective contributor to Clinton’s election.
770 AM New York should schedule another personality for the 6-9 PM slot.
The naughty Russians did it.
The Cubanadian can go back to Calgary.
He’s done in the USA.
Goldman Sachs presidency bump for later....
Did it really need to be hacked? How about an employee of Twitter?
I don’t think Trump is going to lose. If he does I hope he takes a month off then goes out and with the same pitch and fervor promotes a new party. Specifically to replace the GOP.
It will be a blood bath. 30% minimum would leave the GOP. That’s my guess.
My next guess is people like Cruz and Levin will try muddle and confuse the voters with their own 3rd party bid.
.
You still working for Hillery?
.
He deserves the benefit of doubt, but you can only use that excuse one time.
Amish terrorists, I tell ya.
Come to think of it, he had an empty black spraypaint can by his feet and a can of kerosene.......
LOL he is just piling on like usual—Tho he is against Hillary he sure seems to be against Trump just about as much
Cruz is a known liar, why would you believe anything he says?
Selfservatives.
No, I’m working for America, are you working for Canada?
BOVINE EXCREMENT! Little Teddy is LYING; yet again!
Hopefully Cruz’s new party will habe him, Ryan, Bush, Levin, Romney and Beck
