As Twitchy reported yesterday, union protesters, including one poor clown dressed as the Koch Bros. skyscraper topped by a bundt cake mold, gathered in Columbus, Ohio outside of the “Defending the American Dream Summit,” sponsored by Americans for Prosperity.

Presidential candidates speaking at the two-day #Dream15 include Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry and Marco Rubio. First up today was Cruz, who warmed up the audience with a couple of zingers aimed at the Democratic front-runner.
Cruz: "The Democratic field consists of a wild-eyed socialist whose ideas are dangerous for the world… as well as Bernie Sanders."

Cruz: "Democrats wanted an earlier debate, but the invitation was e-mailed to Hillary Clinton."

Cruz then moved on to the requisite list of actions he’d take on his first day as president.
Cruz: “When I'm president, I will instruct the Department of Education – which should be abolished – that Common Core ends today!”

Cruz left the crowd with a three-step plan for living a prosperous life:
Live within your means, don't bankrupt your kids, and follow the Constitution. Cruz. #dream15 @AFPSD pic.twitter.com/Rhy3uBv3yh

Live within your means? No more luxury speedboats for you, Marco Rubio.
