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."

The Republican party trying to destroy its own frontrunner. Who else does that?
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
I saw that....Eeeeewww!!
She’s bragging about her “guerrilla” tactics on her twitter feed.
The Republican party trying to destroy its own frontrunner. Who else does that?
GOPee in pure desperation mode - attacking frontrunner. Unreal.
Check out her blog:
Unless we’re talking gang members or people involved in major financial crimes or sex criminals, no, I’m actually basically for amnesty. I’ll even use the word, unlike a lot of people.
I am on the board of the Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry. I was on the board of GOProud. I’ve been on the record as supporting same-sex marriage for far longer than the vast majority of Democrats or liberals.
Nope, I’m pro-gay-marriage and I’m also pro-choice, though I have some very major moral objections to abortion in most circumstances and would never have an abortion myself. See below for more.
I should have just voted for Gary Johnson. My vote made no difference, but I might have felt marginally better about voting for the going-nowhere libertarian pot guy.
I think that’s part (if not all) of the reason the Walker campaign let her go.
Piece of work, isn’t she? And, to think that the RNC even hired her!! Telling.
Dual US-UK citizen,
Pro abortion,
Pro gay marriage,
Pro amnesty ...
Because Trump committed the cardinal liberal sin of appearing racist in his introductory speech. To the irreligious left and the Beltway RINOs, who agree in lockstep with the far-left positions on all on social issues as taught by all the leading universities, anything that might or could be seen as racist is an unforgivable sin punishable by anything up to and including being burned at the stake.
Well, we know that Charlie Sheen would hit that.
Wonder if "she" ran down and got testesd when she heard the news?
Absolutely...you can read it in this Tweet. She admits “Rs” are almost never her “first choice.”
This is the exact kind of crap GOP operative that worked within the McCain campaign to undermine Palin.
1. Scott Walker could, I think, have been a competent President. However, like almost all Rs, for awhile now, he hasn’t been my 1st choice.

Haha...she looks like a tranny. And not a pretty one.
By the time these dickweed GOPe clowns get done they’ll have elevated Trump to 65%.
Are you getting on the Trump bandwagon.
If so, we need to have a big party to celebrate.
I know you and I have tussled about. But I like and respect you.
Hang in there.
Dem operative.
He’s a man.
Isn’t she the one that was working for that pathetic little Walker?
He appears to be mentally ill.
Who is he?
