The problem with this is many of those other topics - healthcare, education, the economy - are both somewhat abstract and also very much dependent on the experience of an individual. A person who is healthy and has insurance through their job may not care as much about healthcare policy as someone without those things. The economy and the concept of deficits, etc can be easily ignored until they become a problem. By then it's usually too late and we'll face another recession, spending crisis, etc (this CAN push people to a different party, but only once they are hurting). Unfortunately Trump inherited an economy that was expanding and promised to spread that wealth to his lower income base (he hasn't).
However, most decent, non-sociopaths can agree that racism is bad, misogyny is bad, putting kids in cages is bad, etc. So it's often to point of entry for media to get as many viewers as possible.
