schisms might be a better metaphor than civil war.

you are correct that there is, and always has been, "churn" among factions 
within both parties and any significance given to a particular instance of that 
churn e.g GOPS taking committee assignments away from a flake or the Nevada 
state party instance — originate in the mind of the one pointing at the event 
rather than intrinsic to the event itself. One reason that I find most 
political headlines to be examples of wishful thinking rather than 
communicators of significance.
