WASHINGTON Ted Cruz appeared to declare the Donald Trump/Hillary Clinton race all but overbefore 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 wifes 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 Hillarys 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.

Who bought the rights to the photo the PAC used?
Holy crap, you post some of the stupidest stuff ever written.
How many crazy Cruzers are there? I don't know, but those in Texas are a dwindled down group.
not that I think our elections are legit, or that the oligharchy will ever allow anyone else to ever be prez besides their personal little pet...
I'm getting to the point where I just don't care anymore....
I would like to associate with people that will form a fellowship of good old American values....I hope such people still exist....
Looks like another rash of butt hurt is breaking out.
Wake up and smell the coffee! You are so very wrong, it’s not worth the time and effort to post all the reason your post if utter codswallop, since you are still a cultist and blind to the truth.
So all it takes is a bogus hacked tweet to get us to form the old circular firing squads? Really folks? Are we so easily distracted from focusing our fire on our REAL ENEMIES HILLARY & her progressive co-conspirators.
Had Ted Cruz lifted one of his vaunted true conservative fingers to help defeat Hillary Criminal we would not be having this discussion. Go look at his twitter. Barely a mention of Hillary at all. He has tweeted a couple things the last few days when it became obvious he was doing noting to defeat Hillary but go past that and you will see basically nothing.
Bernie is campainging for Hillary Criminal. Where is Ted Cruz? MIA, that’s where.
Oh yes. Which our man Boehner said he was going to repeal .... through a veil of tears.
Depressing being this cynical but it’s being realistic.
True, but since there is no place to run to, I don’t believe in suicide, I have no idea what the backup plane CAN be, at this point. :-(
Levin has fully endorsed Trump
Actually Levin hasn’t fully nor endorsed Trump. Levin will tell you he is NOT endorsing Trump. He will tell you he is not supporting Trump. Last week Levin was saying that Trump gave a very good debate performance but when a caller thanked him for supporting Trump, Levin yelled Im voting for him NOT supporting him. He also likes to say Trump is not conservative and “I think Trump is going to lose to Hillary” over and over again. Nice endorsement, eh?
Hillary IS the “enemy”, however, so too are many so-called pseudo “conservatives”, who did EVERYTHING they could do, to kill off Trump.
He may have said he’s not “supporting” Trump, but I think he means he’s not supporting every position Trump is running on. I don’t think he’s said he’s not ENDORSING Trump. Like you say, he said he’s voting for Trump over Hillary. I’m pretty sure that’s the definition of endorsing in an election.
Actually Levin hasnt fully nor endorsed Trump.
Exactly. It’s clear to me Levin and Cruz are playing a very dangerous game here. They are trying to do the absolute minimum required to “support” Trump and not be blamed for a potential Trump loss. So now we get these stupid non-endorsement endorsements like Cruz and Levin are giving. Cruz won’t even utter Trump’s name during an interview. Meanwhile, Bernie who was smeared every which way by Team Hillary is appearing on stage with her. How pathetic is that?
It’s you guys who have the derangement syndrome. Cruz is one of the top 2 or 3 greatest allies that conservatives have in the Senate. It’s you guys who are holding someone up to an extreme purity test.
“Levin has fully endorsed Trump over Hillary”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha....snort...wheeze...stomp...
I dont think hes said hes not ENDORSING Trump.
Yes Levin has said he is not endorsing Trump and he just said it again a little while ago.
So you believe a Republican politician is your friend? Your ally?
You actually think this guy gives the slightest sh*t about you or anyone else at all?
Americans have no allies in Washington. None. They are all total scumbags.
Stop believing everyone who whispers sweet nothings into your ears or read Dr. Seuss for a few hours on the senate floor.
They. Are. All. Liars.
Paul Ryan is a pseudo-conservative. Ted Cruz is a TRUE conservative. Some folks are clearly not bright enough to know the difference.
No "TRUE" Constitutionalist would run for president, KNOWING that he was NOT eligible. Dear old Teddy did.
And twee Teddy has done NOTHING whatsoever, in the Senate, but make people loathe him. He found a hook ( CONSERVATISM/CONSTITUTIONALIST )to get elected to the Senate and deceived many. Many have lost the blinkers, blindfolds, and ear plugs, but obviously YOU haven't.
Its clear to me Levin and Cruz are playing a very dangerous game here. They are trying to do the absolute minimum required to support Trump and not be blamed for a potential Trump loss. So now we get these stupid non-endorsement endorsements like Cruz and Levin are giving.
Exactly.
