Marco Rubio finally came out swinging against Donald Trump in Thursday night's Republican debate. Rubio's super PAC, Conservative Solutions, has come after Trump, too, with its first post-debate ad turning Trump's words against him.

The short clip spoils Trump's widely circulated "I love the poorly educated" line by commenting dryly, "That's really what Donald Trump is all about. He thinks we're fools." It goes on to slam Trump's "sleazy bankruptcy laws," adding that Trump "puts himself first and us last."
