Jeb is looking for love in all the wrong places.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz should be used to winning the Values Voter Summit straw poll by now, but the guys who came in last can’t be used to losing.
Cruz easily came out on top of Saturday’s vote in Washington, D.C.
Again — Cruz has won for three consecutive years.
“I am humbled and honored to have the support of so many Christian Conservatives,” the candidate said in a statement. “But in order for our values to truly be represented in the White House, it’s going to take millions of Christians encouraging each other to get involved and, most importantly, to vote.”
To the surprise of few, Cruz drew 35 percent of the votes cast at annual gathering of social conservatives, according to the Washington Times. Ben Carson was the closest competitor, drawing 18 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee came in third with 14 percent and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio placed fourth with 13 percent.
As for the front-runner, Trump wobbled across the finish line in fifth place, with 5 percent of the vote — putting him well ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who only received 7 total votes in the stroll poll. As bad as that is, it beats New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who brought up the rear with 0 percent.
