for sunday september 04 2016 presidential campaign in florida about to get turbo charged anthony man the presidential campaign has been running at full throttle in florida for most of the summer now it s about to get turbo charged both sides covet florida voters because the prize is so big the largest state that could go either way in november florida is top battleground for hillary clinton and donald trump winners and losers adam c smith times political editor winner and loser of the week in florida politics rubio s last shred of dignity carl hiaasen the big question facing top republicans on the ballot is do i really want to be seen in public with donald trump itâ s an especially queasy decision for two u s senators marco rubio of florida and john mccain of arizona both have been scorned and humiliated by trump yet they continue to say they support him hereâ s the dilemma rubio and mccain hate trumpâ s guts but they think they need his angry white voter base to get re elected the result is a self debasing charade of distancing themselves from the racist real estate developer without repudiating him â little marco â as trump christened him during the debates stands by his assessment of trump as â a con man â but he says we should put him in the white house anyway that astonishing position reveals more about rubioâ s fitness for office than it does about trumpâ s can trump fan rubio hold on to that last shred of dignity tampa dem jeopardizing his future it was always going to be tough for kevin beckner to make amends with pat frank and her allies after their divisive democratic primary battle for hillsborough county clerk of the circuit court but his refusal to endorse her after she handily defeated him in tuesday s election has also rankled democratic

results sank in wednesday both parties shifted attention to the main event the november election where the dominant factor is donald trump in fights for seats in the state legislature one sided primaries tuesday sent many new faces to the capitol taking those seats off the political chessboard that shrinks the battleground to fewer places â mostly in miami tampa bay and along the i 4 corridor changing demographics and stronger two party competition mean either side can win in a high turnout presidential election â especially with the wildly unpredictable trump at the top of the republican ticket encouraged by republican resistance to trumpâ s hard edged message democrats like their chances in open senate seats in tampa and gainesville and against a republican in miami in an area where democrats have the advantage in voter registration what worries establishment republicans is that trumpâ s divisive talk especially about immigration will force many south florida hispanics to flee the republican party trumpâ s tone at the top looms over gop hopefuls in down ballot florida races clinton beating trump in florida 51 to 1 on aug 8 the donald trump campaign said its first

picture of an algae covered beach it can also cancel thousands of hotel reservations thatâ s the new dread in florida as photos and news videos of gunk covered shorelines are making headlines all over the world why would anyone bring their families to vacation on playa guacamole and do they even make haz mat suits in childrenâ s sizes gov rick scott has reacted with unwavering impotence declaring one state of emergency after another while blaming the federal government for failing to upgrade the dike surrounding the lake so that more dirty water can be retained cleaning up that dirty water is not a priority for this republican governor or this republican led legislature in exchange for a deluge of campaign donations they have worked steadfastly to gut pollution regulations and put the biggest polluters in control of state water policy this year their shameless sellout was complete one of the worst water management bills in florida history was passed and quickly signed by scott

stewardship of our priceless natural resources itâ s an ecological nightmare for the state and a political nightmare for him heâ ll be running for the senate in two years and desperately wants not to be tagged as governor algae but because he wonâ t get tough with the special interests that are funding his campaign there will be no reinstatement of water quality enforcement measures for those flushing agricultural and urban wastewater into lake okeechobee scott seems to be synchronizing his strategy with the florida chamber of commerce which in march announced a â partnershipâ with florida atlantic university to work on â strong science based water quality standards â specifically the chamber mentioned its interest in the impact of septic tanks on toxic algae blooms ordinarily it would be startling to see an environmental conscience exhibited by the chamber one of the most slavishly pro industry anti regulatory groups in the state however the rising outcry about the algae outbreaks
