Nearly all politicians who support longstanding hardline U.S. policy toward Cuba tend to be Cuban-American, Republican or both.

My bet is there are lots of Cubans in Debbie Downer’s congressional district.
Or perhaps Debbie plans on running for Senator from Florida some day - lots of Cubans in Florida.
The same journalist thinks that if the democrats could have only talked to Hitler everything would have turned out well for all.
