Did Ted Cruz boost third party ‘if/when Hillary wins’?

Published



Has heavyweight primary challenger Ted Cruz, R-Texas, written off the possibility of a Donald Trump victory? And if so, has he written off the Republican Party as well for 2020? Or is a hacker having a bit of mischief?

Those questions were raised by an article Cruz promoted on social media Sunday that his spokeswoman wrote to the Washington Examiner to disavow. The tweet on his official Twitter account, repeating the title from a Conservative Review article, read, “Why conservatives will need a new party if/when Hillary wins.”
