Does the Laschet / Söder rivalry mean a wedge between CDU and CSU?

German conservatives split by search for Merkel's successor

So CDU and CSU both try to push their leaders as Merkel's successor. Could this mean the CDU/ CSU partnership is in danger? What would that mean for German Christian Democracy or Bavaria's position overall? I have a hard time seeing CSU not back a CDU led government even if there are bad blood. Of course the last thing CDU needs is more issues, they have an uphill battle if they want to keep the position of leadership. And since their main rival no seem to be the Greens, that'd probably require a different strategy than facing off agains their traditional rival (SPD).
 
As much as I'd love to see in-fighting and division within those ****ers, I think when it comes to the election and dealing with external issues they'll continue with a united front.

I desperately want a Green lead coalition of FDP, SPD and/or Linke. Germany has been CDU/CSU controlled for far too long and it's time for a little correction. Social issues is where I'm most concerned which is why I think Greens and FDP could get a lot done like cannabis legalization. On economics they'd have a hard time together though.

Still, if we have the same old CDU/CSU shit nothing will change. I absolutely despise religiously themed parties.
