I actually thought the Trump University stuff had some legs, especially with stories run parallel to it about the working people who were defrauded by the scam. It's a repeat of the Romney Bain style attack of showing that he doesn't actually care about working people and it's probably a lot more effective that highlighting yet again all his sexist, racist etc statements - I think by this stage everyone's already aware of those and have made their minds whether to keep supporting him based on them. It's a shame that the judge postponed the Trump University trial until after the election because that would have certainly kept it front and centre in the news during the general election cycle.

And the tax returns. Every single day some Clinton surrogate needs to openly speculate on air on what's so troubling in them that he refuses to release them.


What could be in Trump's tax returns:

  • He's paying little or nothing in taxes
  • He's not as rich as he claims to be
  • Investments in unpopular or politically damaging companies
  • Donations to liberal democrats
  • More investments in China than he's previously admitted

I think a combination of "con man," "bull in a china shop," and "big baby" are the way to go, personally.

Cruz bombarded Indiana with "con man" and "this is how he talks about our mothers, our sisters, our daughters."  It helped a lot. /sarcasm.

The problem is that Republican primary voters, by and large, agree with Trump on these things. They've also been conditioned to accept and not think critically about what trusted sources (meaning Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and their Pastor in roughly that order) say. That's much less the case with the general election electorate, which is also less angry and fearful.
