Nevada — The more Donald Trump speaks off the cuff and without any kind of filter in sight, the more many - many - GOP voters seem to love him.

Even when he insults them.

Trump snagged the third presidential primary victory Tuesday night in Nevada, with a double digit lead over his next competitor, Marco Rubio.

During his remarks to the crowd at Treasure Island Casino, Trump was going through a list of all the people who love him - Hispanics, the well educated - and said he really loves those without presumably a college degree.

Only he didn't quite phrase it that way.

<em>"We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated. We're the smartest people, we're the most loyal people."</em>

Trump was trying to say he loves everybody and anybody who votes for him. It's unlikely this remark will have any tangible impact on his momentum, however.
