Opinion: The 2020 GOP message must emphasize its strengths—taxes, jobs, regulatory relief, defense. But victory also requires Republicans to improve their standing on health care, writes KarlRove.
It’s the paradox of success. With 3.6% unemployment and 3.2% growth in gross domestic product, voters are turning to other issues.
When the May 1 NBC/Wall Street Journal survey asked what “should be the top priority for the federal government,” 24% chose health care and 18% said immigration and border security. Job creation and growth came in third, at 14%. While this shouldn’t stop Republicans from selling their economic success, it points to a central challenge for 2020.
