They need to run ads about the Trump University fraud/racketeering case

It really hasn't been talked about much recently in the media and not since more people have been paying attention. It would hurt him badly with older voters who are constantly being targeted and cheated out of money.

and dutiful editors will certainly report them, above the fold. I'm guessing that's the best we can expect.

Not like the architect because that's sort or a white collar job. But what about painters, and plumbers and drywallers etc that got stiffed when Trump decides he doesn't want to pay.

Didn't someone post a story here about a caterer who got the job of catering his a Melania's wedding. Then stiffed her saying the opportunity to cater his wedding was payment enough as that alone would get her "bigly business, believe me."

There should be ads with regular workers, many like Trump supporters, that got stiffed or even destroyed their business because of him.

Because it shows proof that Trump repeatedly cheats and screws over guys JUST LIKE THEM.

White blue collar men are mainly voting for Trump because they are scared. Like pointed out in Michael Moore in Trumpland...they represent only 19% of Americans now...they aren't the majority anymore. Women don't need them and the economy isn't working for them the same anymore even when they work hard. If those men saw proof that Trump habitually rips off guys like them and has for decades some of those men will vote for Clinton or third party.

But there might be undecided voters that need something to push them one way or the other. If they could see just how many and who are left in the wake of destruction that Trump businesses create, maybe they would vote for Hillary instead.
