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.

On one things, we agreed; you aren’t “bright enough” to see the truth.
What true conservative sits on the sidelines hoping for a Hillary victory?
Lyn’ Ted just cannot go away. Pathetic. I definitely hope he is primaried and defeated. The RNC should boot him, remove him from any committee assignments in the senate.
Yes he has. In his very next breath, he had reamed Trump, praised Pence and yet here we are. Grand old Pussies again. He talks! The Stupid party.
Cruz has no political future at all. He’ll never live down his convention speech, and worse he’s tied himself to Glen Beck who was last heard comparing Michelle Obama to Reagan.
That’s always the claim
Well, I heard some people talkin’ just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you’ll soon find out it’s true
And then you’ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself...
Well said.
“Ted” (not his real name) Cruz’s campaign manager bought the photos. There should be criminal charges for the obvious collusion between the pac and the campaign.
“Holy crap, you post some of the stupidest stuff ever written.”
The Cruzlim Blubberhood is like that. Flat headed cultists.
“Cruz is one of the top 2 or 3 greatest allies that conservatives have in the Senate.”
He is impotent. I think he is mendacious as well, but their is no debating his utter impotence.
As if Ted Cruz would be beating Hillary.
to all the Cruz haters....
Go Cruz!!!!
Have you followed Cruz’s career at all since he took on an establishment candidate in the primary and won his Senate seat?
He has been a constant thorn in the side of the GOPe. McCain hates him. Boehner hates him. McConnell hates him. Graham hates him.
Sessions praised him. Lee praised him. DeMint praised him.
We get it that you don’t like him because he went against your precious Donald. It doesn’t mean you should rewrite history to try and prove a point. Cruz was by far the most socially and economically conservative and pro Constitution candidate in the race on traditional conservative issues. This is indisputable. He wasn’t AS anti-immigration as Trump (but he was much more so than the rest of the field). He wasn’t AS anti-Islam as Trump (but he was much more so than the rest of the field). He wasn’t as anti-globalism/pro-sovereignty as Trump. These are some important issues that I hope define the future of conservatism. I am extremely glad Trump is bringing these to the forefront. These are the reasons why I hope Trump wins and will gladly vote for him (unlike Romney who I felt sick voting for).
To say Cruz is part of the GOPe is laughable and ignorant.
We get it that you dont like him because he went against your precious Donald.
I haven’t liked Cruz since he dishonestly campaigned with Punk Ryan for Obama’s TPA. I was a supporter of his up until that point. Trump wasn’t even a candidate then.
I was fooled into supporting Cruz by his theatrical antics for many years. But now it is apparent that has not been fighting for us but instead selfishly advancing his own career. That is he is not using his every breath to defeat Hillary Criminal now is all you need to know about Ted Cruz’s “conservatism”.
BTW, Lee is defacto supporting Hillary Criminal. I wouldn’t use him as a character reference at this point. LOL.
Yeah, every time he went to the Senate floor to expose the treachery of the leadership of his own party, he was just doing it to “advance his career”. Get real.
I didn’t like his support of TPA either but there is an argument to be made for it. I think there are better arguments to be made against it but that is beside the point. He is no friend of Ryan. He is no friend of the establishment GOP. To suggest so is ignorant.
Yeah, I bet you can find an argument for ol Teddy's (actually Heidie's) VAT tax.. The only argument for a VAT tax is because of a North American Union, just like the European Union. There is NOTHING conservative about a VAT tax.
You flat out ignore that ol Ted carried Mitch the Senate's water, until Mitch the Senate refused to give Ted a Senate resolution that Ted was eligible to hold the office of president. Just like the Senate resolved for old Lord McCain... That is when Ted took to the floor and called Mitch the Senate a liar... Then Ted slithered on over to the House of Representatives, in a move to 'lock' up his nomination via Congressional Districts... Nobody will ever say Ted is NOT smart, but his motivation is totally and completely self centered. Ted has accomplished absolutely NOTHING for this nation since he took that OATH of office to protect and defend our Constitution.

Sorry, Ted Cruz was a lifetime career GOP establishment man until the very moment he self servingly jumped on the Tea Party wagon to run against an establishment candidate for a Senate seat. His conservatism is all theater. He is a bought and paid for career politician.

Your comments here are clearly designed to divide the vote against Hillary, thus you are not working for a Trump victory.
Your gang are exactly what are holding Trump back. Your actions are very transparent.
