And, what would you replace it with?
Obama believes that the Republicans in Congress are opposing him in a way no other democrat has ever faced, or so the latest DNC campaign letter has it.
So, the RNC must be doing something right even if is not laying down and letting Obama have his complete way with them.
Who would you replace the RNC with?
Destroying the Pro-Forma Opposition, (PFO) which is a more accurate moniker for the GOP, than "Republican," would NOT be a good thing. Furthermore, like the government of Saudi Arabia, whatever followed might be worse. For example, serious third party attempts might automatically result in a century of Democrat Rule before Civil War II. So, no one does anything. Keep the party going. Make money.
The GOP Thinkers, of course know this, and it is all that keeps them in their seats with a good share of the swag .... and all they have to do is fake it.
