    Sorry to focus on this point but gas is subject to a fairly fluid global market. I’ve been driving a car since Clinton and have never noticed Republicans being better for gas prices or the price of anything, if anything it’s the opposite.

      I thought the President wasnt able to do anything about gas prices?

        The President can do a lot of macro things that affect oil supply, like exercising some control over leases in public land, choosing to regulate or deregulate fracking, or invading a foreign country to obtain more oil.

        In a more micro scale the President has fairly direct control over the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and can decide when to release and when to replenish.
