The GOP has descended from the party of Lincoln into the corrupt business machine they are today. With 10 million illegals and widespread voter fraud on both sides of the aisle instituting a voter id requirement makes sense on its face. I've never seen anyone that didn't have some form of ID. Based upon the pervasive corruption endemic to both parties it's become a game of corrupt chess. The DNC courts the illegal vote and the GOP makes a move to counter it. All the while both parties are pointing at the other.

Like Salmo said, hopefully a fiscally Conservative party will rise from the ashes and the social distractions will be impertinent. Trump is getting a lot of resistance from the party because of this but change is often painful. Ryan and McLame are finding that out now.

No party has a corner on the corruption market but the democrats are definitely way, way, way out in front, thanks to Hilary. The only way to fix the problem is to burn it down and rebuild the party into a more representative, inclusive and tolerant party. The GOP is the reluctant patient in this new and painful procedure.
