Trump to skip Republican Jewish Congress confab

Republican front-runner Donald Trump turns down an invitation from the Republican Jewish Coalition to their conference this weekend.

The annual spring conference is set to take place at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas, a resort owned by RJC board member and prominent Republican patron Sheldon Adelson.

Adelson and his family spent more than $90 million in the 2012 race, but have not made large contributions so far this time.

The RJC has also invited the other two GOP presidential candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich. Cruz has accepted the invitation while Kasich has yet to reply.
