The Republicans have come out with a “purity” resolution regarding the vetting and support of candidates who don’t back the party.  Basically, they suggest that the local leaderships do a better job of vetting the candidates and not support those that don’t have any party loyalty or principles.  You can read the text for yourself at Politico.

Short version summary:  “We acknowledge some of our recent candidates knifed us in the back.  However, we’re only going to pay it some tough-sounding lip service and otherwise do nothing.”

Sounds great.  So whereas the Republicans haven’t gotten serious about not being the Other Democrats, it is resolved that we should keep donating money and support directly to candidates we like and let the rest broil.  The Republican national middlemen are still playing games and aren’t worth our time.
