First to the substance of the claims – In poll after poll of head-to-head match-ups Donald Trump clearly beats Hillary here are recent examples:
And not only beats Clinton, but also dominates amid ALL DEMOGRAPHICS
In Poll after Poll after Poll Donald Trump beats Hillary Clinton and does much better than GOPe favorite Jeb Bush (SEE HERE): Trump beats Clinton 54-46
So that puts this insufferable GOPe talking point to rest.
Now lets get down to why they need to sell it.
The reason is a simple one, the progressive republicans (GOPe) need an excuse for attacking Donald Trump with their cloak and dagger routine. The latest GOPe attack alignment comes via Liz Mair, an open borders/amnesty advocate:
(Via The Hill) Republican operative Liz Mair is planning a “guerrilla campaign” aimed at knocking Donald Trump out of the GOP presidential race, The Wall Street Journal is reporting.
Mair, a former online communications director at the Republican National Committee who also worked on behalf of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s presidential campaign earlier this year, has formed Trump Card LLC “to defeat and destroy” Trump’s candidacy, according to the report.
“In the absence of our efforts, Trump is exceedingly unlikely to implode or be forced out of the race,†said an internal memo that the Journal obtained. “The stark reality is that unless something dramatic and unconventional is done, Trump will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will become president.â€
News of the recently formed group comes a day after the super-PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich, another GOP presidential rival, announced $2.5 million for TV, radio and other ads over two months targeting Trump in New Hampshire, where the real estate tycoon maintains a solid lead.
Another group, the economic think tank Club for Growth, has already hit Trump with $1 million in ads in the early-voting state of Iowa.
[…] Mair described Trump Card LLC to the Journal as “loosely organized and highly confidential.”
She said she hopes to lock up funds from donors who are interested in pushing back against Trump but don’t necessarily want their involvement to become publicly known. (link)
Notice how the attack supporters don’t want to put their names behind their scheme. This is because they prefer to hide their agenda, they are globalists.
Donald Trump is a growing risk to their uniparty grip on power in DC. If progressive republicans lose an election to a progressive democrat, nothing changes – they still have their seats, still have their jobs, and still have position of power and influence.
However, if a progressive republican loses an election to a genuine America-First conservative, they are out of a job.
This is why those who want Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton, will do anything to insure Donald Trump is defeated and removed. They would rather lose to Hillary , and yes they will vote for her if needed, and still hold power, than see Trump win and know their influence disappears with his arrival.
We will know how valid these polls are at a later date. Much later.
Full disclosure, Cruz 1, Trump 2. Have no interest in any of the remaining candidates.
Last night on Bret Baier - AB Stoddard? was saying the opposite of this - that the GOP was in a kerfuffle because none of the Candidates could beat Trump or Carson but that Kasich and Bush were the only ones that could beat Clinton. Wow, this is an alternative universe.
AB is nuts.
A.B. Stoddard is a loon.

In this case I’d call all the polls “a preponderance of evidence”.
Something’s spooking the GOPe, that’s for sure.
Trump beats Clinton. Keep saying this until it’s true!
LOL! The comb-over and the thumb are perfect! 8^)
And Romney was the only one who could be Obama. Just echoing the Fox line.
Pray America wakes
ROFLOL!!! Too funny!

Thank you for posting the entire article. That site is wonderful but such a PITA to try to read.
Another reason FR is the best: no damn ads!!!
I agree. The GOPe is running out of establishment choices. Both Cruz and Trump have their warts, but I would be willing to live with them. Both would deliver the beginning of a turn around in the US.
Is that his symbol? Because it should be, cool!
I'm a Cruz guy, not a Trump guy, but if Trump gets the nomination, he is going to win.
I can live with Trump, although I dread the sorts of Federal Judges he would appoint. His sister is a Kook Liberal Federal Judge.
