After getting pushed around by Donald Trump for the better part of a primary season, Florida senator Marco Rubio finally landed a clean shot during Thursday night’s CNN/Telemundo debate, taking aim at the billionaire's notorious real estate seminars, dubiously called Trump University.

“A fake university,” Rubio said with a smirk. “And you know what they got, they got to take a picture with a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump. That’s what they got for $36,000.”

Three ongoing multimillion-dollar lawsuits against Trump University and its namesake have been going through the courts for years, but as Trump comes closer to the nomination, the scandal is resurfacing both in court and in the GOP primary. The suits focus mainly on the deceptive marketing tactics and false promises of Trump U that left many of the plantiffs tens of thousands of dollars in debt....

Is this finally going to be the issue that chips into Trump’s populist image, and thus his lead? If the average voter knew Trump had made millions off the backs of the vulnerable, would he care? Thus far, Trump has been impervious to slandering veterans, Mexicans, Muslims, Fox News and every single major GOP figure. Perhaps his exploitation of the very entrepreneurial, aspirational class he is supposed to champion and embody will finally be his undoing.

2. I don't think this will hurt Chump.

The idiots who support him have no problem with a rich asshole taking advantage of average people. They are anti education and science and probably think anyone trying to get an education deserves whatever they get. Bunch of dumb asses!
