Trump erupts at RNC: 'That wasn't the deal!'

A new campaign is underway by Republican establishment operatives to take out Donald Trump and ensure he's not the candidate of choice for the GOP – and the billionaire front-runner has taken to Twitter to call out the lead player as a "wacko" with few funding friends.

Trump described the operation this way on Twitter over the weekend: "A woman who got fired after two days of working with Scott Walker – a wacko – now trying to raise funds to fight me."

He was referring to Liz Mair, a brief former campaign worker for Walker's presidential push, who's now heading up Trump Card LLC. The Wall Street Journal reported on a memo that included Mair's expressed concern of "the stark reality is that unless something dramatic and unconventional is done, Trump will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will become president."

Trump's also firing a warning shot at the Republican National Committee about the effort to harm his candidacy, referencing the Journal's article and tagging the RNC’s official Twitter account, @GOP, in his complaint.

“@WSJ reports that @GOP getting ready to treat me unfairly—big spending planned against me,” Trump tweeted. “That wasn’t the deal!”

In September, Trump signed a pledge not to run as an independent. He said at the time he was given the “assurance that I would be treated fairly” by RNC chairman Reince Priebus in return for agreeing to the "deal."

The path of Trump Card LLC is to expose Trump's positions as less than conservative via ads that show his past support for higher taxes, affirmative action and government health care. And, as Hot Air reported, "one possible ad would link Mr. Trump's views and style to his celebrity foe, Rosie O'Donnell, in hopes of provoking a reaction from Mr. Trump."

The overall goal of the group is not so much to press Republicans to vote for a different candidate, but rather to decide to stay home and not vote at all, Hot Air said.

Mair is also a former online communications director for the Republican National Committee. She resigned from Walker's presidential campaign after just a short period because of comments she made on Twitter that painted Iowa in a negative light.
