Sen. Ted Cruz won the Values Voter Summit straw poll. . . . a whopping 35 percent of the poll of summit-goers, ahead of runner-up Ben Carsons 18 percent. . . . Former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee (Ark.) took third with 14 percent, followed by Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) with 13 percent. Real estate magnate Donald Trump finished a distant fifth with 5 percent. . . . While recent polls have shown Donald Trump leading with evangelical voters as well as across the board, he placed well outside of the top-tier. Trump gave an extremely well-attended speech on Friday, but some conference-goers mocked him for seeking to appeal to the Christian base by bringing the Bible that he said his mother gave him as a child. That was offensive, said Todd Dexter, a fundraiser for nonprofit groups in Texas. Have you opened it? Thats what everyone around me was asking." Precisely. Anyone who thought the Values Voters audience was booing Rubio when Trump made the "clown" insult--well, that's just denying reality of what happened. Trump was NOT well received by this audience of social conservatives.

I never thought the Values Voters were dissing Rubio.
They were dissing Trump...and he knew they would.
He spoke the truth about Rubio and they hated it.
But it is still true...Rubio is for amnesty.
Trump says "come here legally"...
