A well-connected GOP operative alarmed by the enduring strength of Republican Donald Trump's presidential bid is planning a "guerrilla campaign" backed by secret donors to knock him out of the race.
Liz Mair, former online communications director of the Republican National Committee, recently created Trump Card LLC to "defeat and destroy" the celebrity businessman's candidacy, according to a memo obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
"In the absence of our efforts, Trump is exceedingly unlikely to implode or be forced out of the race," the Trump Card memo says. "The stark reality is that unless something dramatic and unconventional is done, Trump will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will become president."
An increasing number of Republicans are concerned that Mr. Trump's inflammatory rhetoric about different minority groups, including Hispanics and Muslims, are damaging the party's image and will undermine efforts to reach a broader electorate in a general election. Expectations that his campaign would fizzle out have been dashed as he has remained atop the polls since the summer.
The anti-Trump crusade aims to unite contributors who are backing a variety of the Republican primary candidates, Ms. Mair said. Opposition research, grass roots organizing and donor outreach has been going on for weeks, Ms. Mair said, while declining to name any supporters.
"It"s loosely organized and highly confidential," said Ms. Mair. "I certainly know donors who are very happy that their fingerprints will be kept off things."

These idiots actually believe that Trump can’t defeat Hillary but Jeb can? What kind of delusional island do they live on?
Explains much. Thanks, maggie!
Btw, isn’t Trump Card already taken? By Trump Hotels??
Another backfire in the making...lol.
Yeah, but they will do it in true GOPe - Wile E. Coyote fashion. It seems like everything these GOPe idiots do to try to hurt Trump ends up helping him with voters.
Yep.
I see a cease and desist simmering, no?
“Most of his views mirror the stated views of Mitt Romney.”
Except for the wall and forced deportation.
And that is ALL THAT MATTERS in this election.
eeeh! She looks like Carli in drag. Can’t we do any better?
I don’t know.
He’d have to go after quite a few of them per google.
“She was fired from the Scott Walker campaign shortly after being hired for tweets that insult Iowans...She’s an idiot...and unemployed”
If she is all the GOPe has to try to stop Trump it will SMOOTHING SAILING for him.
This is her Twitter. A “Freedom to Marry” Republican:

...yea, but look at the last point on that plot - Carson is again SURGING. Just a short time, now, before Trump is taken out.
Doing the job Democrats won’t do...

TRYING to do the job Democrats CAN’T do...
They can’t do it either.
I hadn’t thought of that. The GOPe is so inept, any attempt to derail Trump will backfire, embarrass the GOP, and boost Trump’s election prospects.
She was fired from the Walker campaign after insulting Iowans over a conservative summit.
HuffPo says she’s “moderate” on social issues and immigration.
