Just as GOP front-runner Donald Trump continued to shore up delegates, winning several Super Tuesday states, some top Republican strategists and donors began to line up behind a new effort to halt the Trump campaign's momentum.
Jeb Bush's former communications director, Tim Miller, announced Tuesday that he would be joining the Our Principles PAC, an anti-Trump effort.
Miller will focus on opposition research that will go to expanding the PAC's advertising campaigns - including research targeting endorsers and surrogates like Chris Christie.
Other strategists and big name donors - like technology executive Meg Whitman, billionaire Todd Ricketts, and hedge fund manager Paul Singer - have also participated in the Our Principles PAC effort.
Whitman, who was Chris Christie's campaign finance co-chair, joined with Ricketts, Singer, and about 50 others on a call Tuesday afternoon to solicit funds for the super PAC.
Other strategists and big name donors -- like technology executive Meg Whitman, billionaire Todd Ricketts, and hedge fund manager Paul Singer -- have also participated in the Our Principles PAC effort, according to a report by the New York Times and confirmed by CBS News.

A source with knowledge of the call told CBS News that the thinking behind was to stop Trump on March 15 with sustained, cohesive messaging.

So, the GOPe forces Trump to sign a loyalty oath, now they turn around and won’t honor it the other way.
And pundits wonder why the base is pissed off at the establishment.
IF Trump wins the nomination, and it’s stolen at the convention, methinks all hell will break loose.
But that’s just me.
Anyone who donates to this is an idiot.
You know what? I’ve gotten to the point that it is far more important to kill the GOP-Establishment than ANYTHING else. Even the fight against Hillary.
Some people say we barely survived an Obama presidency.
I assert that we DID NOT SURVIVE IT.
America looks NOTHING like it did 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago. We embrace pure evil (abortion), we embrace pure madness (transgenderism and gay superiority), we embrace pure racism (black lives matter but white ones don’t), we embrace pure tyranny (attacks on every BoR Amendment).
So people who tell me we need to vote (whatever) to save America are on a fools errand. There is no America to save.
What we CAN do, is BUILD A NEW AMERICA. That will require the complete removal of the GOP Elitists. Trump will ensure that, whether or not he is ultimately elected. Then, armed with a TRUE opposition party, perhaps in a cycle or two we can elect a President that will begin the arduous task of recreating America.
The establishment is entrenched and they could care less about the voters. Is it any wonder why people are fed up with the Republican party. At this point in time they should be rallying behind Trump in order to defeat the Beast. But they are going to allow the Beast to just walk into the White House.
How dare an outsider like Trump try to upset the old boys honey wagon.
It's your bloody PACs that we hate, your freakin' morons!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Clinton Crime Syndicate was the founder and major contributor to this PAC. The ultimate outcome will be to "elect" the criminal known as hillary rodham clinton and destroy The Country.
Meg Whitman failed to win California. Her ads were stupid even for Californians. After spending 120 million dollars on California bid , she had nothing to show for.
We need to bring back the French Revolution.
Our Principles PAC
**************************
Our Principles are that we will squelch any attempt by the citizens to stop The Cheap Labor Express.
Flooding the country with foreigners is paramount.
The people pipeline must be kept flowing.
The citizens will not be allowed to keep their country.
No, it’s not just you.
I would hope the chaos at the convention would rival ‘68, less the violence outside.
These people and the rest of the GOPe don’t care if the President has an R or a D after his/her name, as long as the gravy train continues and their power base is unaffected.
All cornered animals become dangerous but these are the same people who brought you Jeb!, even hiring the same communications guy. So you know that’s going to work real well.
And as we’ve seen from past experiences with the GOPe, whenever they really set out to accomplish a goal....
they fail miserably.
Gomez list include Robert Mercer and George Soros
On the other hand, that physical elimination idea would make a GREAT movie. Or a GREAT country.
Oh you are CORRECT they haven’t seen anything like the HELL that will break loose!!!!
