Cruz builds support with Jewish leaders as Trump skips event LAS VEGAS — Ted Cruz has hundreds of influential Republican donors and Jewish leaders all to himself this weekend in Las Vegas as he addresses the Republican Jewish Coalition. Cruz’s rivals for the GOP presidential nomination, Donald Trump and John Kasich, declined invitations to attend — a puzzling move in particular for Trump as he tries to project himself as a party unifier who deserves the Republican nomination even if he falls short of winning enough delegates in the primaries to clinch it outright. Trump had no clear scheduling conflict, with no public events this weekend until a Rochester, N.Y., rally Sunday afternoon. It’s a “missed opportunity” for Trump to build on a well-received recent speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, said Abbie Friedman, an RJC board member who introduced Trump when he spoke to the Republican group in December. The RJC is funded by the top political donor of 2012, Sheldon Adelson, and meets at the billionaire’s Venetian casino resort on the Strip. Trump declined an invitation to attend a private dinner at Adelson’s home Thursday night with the Republican Jewish Coalition’s board. Trump’s spokeswoman and his campaign manager did not respond to requests for comment.
