What is the line between facts/opinions for you? For example, you recently fact checked Trump's claim that China controls North Korea.

Now, my personal opinion is that Trump was wrong on this, but I can't help but feel like you guys take sides on issues that are nuanced and not objective. I liked politifact better when it was about fact checking objective claims on numbers and history, but it seems like you guys have strayed into interpretation too often. Where is the line?

The full quote was:

"China, they don't like to tell us but they have total control -- just about, of North Korea. They can solve the problem of North Korea if they wanted to, but they taunt us."

Again, I am not agreeing with Trump. I am only saying that I don't like when this is rated as if it is objective, when really it's a subjective situation with a lot of nuance and disagreement.

So then how do you respond to the fact that the current Secretary of State essentially agrees with Trump that China could end North Korea's nuclear program if they wanted to?

In the 1st quarter, about 10 percent of our fundraising came from donations within Florida. Wasserman Schultz also raised about two-thirds of her money from outside Florida.

So to clarify, she raised about 33% of her donations from within state, and you raised about 10% of money from donations within state, or ~30% of the proportion that she raised from within state.

1. How can you claim to represent Florida better than she does?

2. You did not answer what percentage of your donations come from within your own district.

Edit: One additional bit of legaleze to note in this answer:

And I had more individual donations in Florida than she did!

That is completely meaningless. If one person donates $1 100 times, that would be 100 donations and one donor. If 10 people donate $10 one time, that would be 10 donations and 10 donors. He's using meaningless statistics to shield himself from the fact that he is not funded from within his own district.

Dear Mr. Canova,

Are you at all concerned by the fact that so much outside money is being poured into your campaign? What is the split between money raised from within the district that you are running in, and money raised by outside donors?
