According to the following article, many republicans are becoming suspicious about how the voter data collection system set up by the Koch brothers and the information it has amassed is going to be used:
"The fight between the RNC’s chairman and the political operatives affiliated with Charles and David Koch over who controls the rich treasury of data on likely Republican voters has raised fundamental questions about what role the party’s central committee — even under the best management — can hope to play in the age of super-PACs."
"Super-PACs emerged as a major new force in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling in 2010. They now populate a political landscape that has been radically changed, leaving political parties weaker than they have ever been."
Read the whole story here:
Hey, nothing to fear from Chuck & Dave, their super PAC (and all other PACS), and the massive amounts of money the super rich are alotting to influencing and controlling the political process.

Some of us saw it coming since the 2010 ruling. Why run for office and go through the campaigning hassles when you can simply buy a politican, or in this case, an entire political party.
