Trump will make a deal.
What did we get from Obama’s largess to Cuba?
Nothing.
It may take a while, but it will eventually be as if obozo never existed.
It isn’t as though people have been falling all over themselves to go to Cuba, from what I hear.
The sooner that wart on the buttocks of the world is gone and forgotten the better off the world will be!
OMG, Trump’s a Communistophobe?
No Wi-Fi and no ATMs. The type of people who would vacation in Cuba expect these things.

Castro turned Cuba into a giant brothel.
He openly bragged “We have the best educated Whores in the world.”
It is one of the ways Cuba earns foreign exchange.
A lot of tourists to Cuba are sex tourists, especially from Europe and Canada.
And get what?
And get what?
That is a good question. Cuba does not have much to offer.
What he should be trying to get is a easing up on the totalitarian state...
Hard to see how Raul Castro lasts if that is done.
What does Cuba have that we want? Reparations for the properties they stole from us after the revolution?
They cannot even feed their own people.
What really pisses me off being a resident of Florida.
The cruise ships are DYING to travel to Cuba and at the same time the cruise industry has SOLD OUT American to Cuban extortion.
Hear me ... no country or entity in the Caribbean basin requires a passport for entry by ship (except Cuba). Not only does Cuba require a traveler to possess a passport, Cuba is allowed to charge a $80 fee every time for a one-time use visa to even dock as a passenger on a ship at Cuba. No island or Caribbean port gets this type of money or fee, only Cuba. And who pays that, not the cruise ship industry, the consumer, the American.
In a balanced market, the cruise lines should have told Cuba, you want tourist dollars, no visa ... be like every other port, extortion is not going to be paid by our passengers.
I’m more concerned with what Trump will get out of Marco for doing this for the little guy. The Fan Dancer has been a pain in the ass, he needs to be thankful for having President Trump instead of Hillary.
Cuba is a nation of slaves. A nation that prevents its people from opting out and leaving is shameful and vile.
I have read a lot of different things about Cuba the country. I abhor communism, socialism but I don’t think an embargo is a good idea. I read in an investment newsletter some time ago that 20-30% of the property in Cuba is privately owned. I would hope that the Cuban government would realize that allowing small private businesses to exist is and would be in the interest of the people. I am not a fan of big corporate anything taking over anywhere. Anyone who wants to travel there for vacation or family should not be restricted. That said, we should reverse the policy where Cubans can come to the US as tourists and collect SS checks (a Rubio supported policy?). Get government out of the way, insist that the Cuban government allow some free enterprise, and see what happens. If Trump plays this in the right way, he could potentially do with Cuba what Nixon did with China.
Winning.
Bigly.
