40. Check the links in the OP, he has been addressing these issues in the campaign

In fact he has been addressing these issues more vocally than any other candidate in the race.

The claim that he has not been addressing these issues in the campaign is clearly false as evidenced by the links in the OP, all of which are less than a year old.
