When does florida democratic candidates start making issue with trump's attacks on Canada

as part of a campaign strategy as Canadian citizens spend big $$$$ in Florida every year and soon a boycott of florida by canada will happen..or will be implied

When does florida democrats campaign strategy focus on the republicans and trumps intended cuts to SS and Medicare.


The elections have to be made about money, cost of cuts, cost of trump and republicans on the state of florida.

democrats have to hammer home the issue of trust and trump/republicans doing what they promise not to do each and every time

and he is especially an ass to those who defy him...and Canada has little to fear in this as they hold all the cards. A simple lumber embargo by Canada would create big shortages in US lumber...drive prices thru the roof on new construction as well as delays. What can trump do? Easily drive up the cost to americans and increase american job losses

Americans have very short memories. On top of that, it is quite possible that they have done their own polling and have found that the Canada fiasco is a non-issue to Floridians.

After the next hurricane due to Trump tariffs and American corporate gouging may provide a talking point or two....
