Unfortunately...day to day....even if it’s not Trump or GOP’s “fault” — average joes associate the current party in power with TSA shutdown, gas prices, sky high healthcare premiums...
Where’s your evidence?
And furthermore, what’s your remedy? To have Trump and the (R)’s knuckle under to the ‘Rats and “reopen the government” on Schumer’s terms? To vote in “Medicaid For All” and instantly double the national debt? To let Iran get nuclear weapons so we can keep our gas prices low?
Childish idiot wishes that ultimately will HARM the republic, to win elections, in other words?
So I’m back to asking: exactly what would you have PDJT and the (R)s do to suck up to those specific voters you’re trying to win? Be sure to factor in the effect it would have on the INFORMED ADULT VOTERS in the election...
“average joes associate the current party in power with TSA shutdown, gas prices, sky high healthcare premiums...”

The TSA problems are due to Democrats.

The “sky high healthcare premiums” is due to the lack of cost-control mechanisms in the PPACA.
As I have posted many times, for health care, bring on market force:
1. Break most hospitals into two highly competitive entities
2. Convert other hospitals into real estate leasing entities with competing surgical suites and nursing wings
3. Separate out drug coverage so hospital systems can run care coverage systems and cut out insurance company overhead and meddlers.
4. Create interstate drug plans that don’t have to pay what the drugmaker wants for every drug. To qualify for exchange listing and federal subsidies, they would have to most (~80% or more) in all important types (large volume recombinant, small volume recombinant, breakthroughs under patent, etc.). Group and exchange plans to offer time-limited vouchers at plan set amounts for out-of-formulary drugs. Voucher plans would have variable premiums. Plans without minimums (or vouchers) could be vended directly to individuals and families.
5. These plans would be all the doctors (and AI) prescribe for formulary drugs with co-pays equal to manufacturing cost
6. Have drug patents limited by government sourced product revenue and overall domestic government health care spending and not by time [so drug companies have an incentive to minimize government health care funding]
7. Require Kirchoff patent collapse to a single entity upon FDA marketing approval of a covered entity
8. reform medical education, breaking down medicine and dentistry into simpler chunks and start it in the first year of college
9. replace most primary care doctoring with AI
(Insurers would pay human doctors to confirm AI diagnosis, orders for expensive tests[MRI, genetic], prescribe radiation imaging[CT, PET, X-ray]/treatment, and voucher/government co-pay drugs. Other human doctor care would be private pay.)
10. Radioisotope-related care would be at international airport centers

“gas prices”
The federal government is spending about $40,000/year/road vehicle. That $40,000 would allow people to buy 9,500 gallons of gas in my area.
If you drive 250 miles in a week and you get 25 miles per gallon, that’s 10 gallons a week. A $1.20 increase per gallon means $12/week, for maybe a dozen weeks.
