Republicans are having a thriving and lively debate of substance in their Party
And by 'thriving', you mean
sobbing pitefully at their own disarray and lack of leadership?
Some Republicans were caught actually sobbing after Kevin McCarthy dropped out of the House speaker race

Nothing says 'thriving' like weeping bitter tears at your own impotence and inability to accomplish anything. Want some more 'thriving'?
The Republicans’ Incompetence Caucus
The House Republican caucus is close to ungovernable these days. How did this situation come about?
This was not just the work of the Freedom Caucus or Ted Cruz or one month’s activity. The Republican Party’s capacity for effective self-governance degraded slowly, over the course of a long chain of rhetorical excesses, mental corruptions and philosophical betrayals. Basically, the party abandoned traditional conservatism for right-wing radicalism. Republicans came to see themselves as insurgents and revolutionaries, and every revolution tends toward anarchy and ends up devouring its own.

'Jaw Dropping Incomptence' ...And this from a life long conservative.
But to you, there's nothing wrong, the GOP is 'thriving', and there's no reason to look behind the curtain to find the source of all the sobbing.
All you're demonstrating is mindless, obsequious obedience to whatever you're told to think. No matter how incompetent, ineffective, or disorganized your party is.......you'll continue to rearrange the deck chairs, telling how everything is perfect..... as the ship slowly sinks.
And demonstrate why republicans are in this pickle to begin with.
