The Wall Street Journal has an inside look at the "guerrilla campaign" being launched against Donald Trump by the GOP establishment. The Journal states party stalwarts are "increasingly alarmed" by Trump's continued success and dread seeing him move on to the general election. According to a memo obtained by the newspaper, former RNC online communications director Liz Mair has set up Trump Card LLC to unite donors from various campaigns into a single anti-Donald front. “In the absence of our efforts, Trump is exceedingly unlikely to implode or be forced out of the race,” the memo states. “The stark reality is that unless something dramatic and unconventional is done, Trump will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will become president.”
Mair—who lost her previous gig with the Scott Walker campaign over some social-media posts mocking Iowans—describes Trump Card as "loosely organized and highly confidential," with financial backers remaining anonymous, the Journal reports. Trump Card's plans so far include comparing the Republican frontrunner to Rosie O'Donnell in an attempt to goad him into a reaction and hiring a Trump impersonator to insult people. Trump Card's goal, as stated in the memo, isn't even to get supporters to switch to another candidate; rather it wants to turn them off voting altogether. The Journal reports "the sense of urgency has mounted in part because Mr. Trump continues at or near the top of GOP polls, even after many predicted that the Paris terror attacks would lead voters to turn to a more seasoned candidate."
