Attacking Trump on being a bad businessman is a no win proposition.
First, you're playing into his turf. He will just come back with "I'm enormously successful, look at my planes and buildings. Enormous wealth. You're a loser."
Second, who do you really win over with this argument? I think most people who are going to vote for Trump aren't really going to be swayed by this sort of thing.
And let's face it, Trump's had a lot of losses in his business career, but he's had a lot of wins too and built a huge brand. You may not like what it stands for, but it's yuuuuge.
If he is the nominee, it sets up a really weird election where you could see sort of an establishment middle carrying Hillary and Trump pulling from the populist ranks on both ends of the spectrum.
