These struggles naturally happen during primaries as candidates try to differentiate themselves. You are way to smart to listen to Rush. You could out Rush rush.

Don't get so hung up on the term "schism." I just mean that the internal debates are revolving around two very different subjects. You don't really hear the Dems debating policy that much. Can you tell me the difference between Hillary and Obama on health care? the war? taxes? abortion?
Now try the same questions with the Republicans.
Two different debates going on right now, and personally I'd rather have it be over ideas than identity politics. (Mike Huckabee excepted)
