If there is another "Mariel Boatlift", will the "Commies" be the first ones on the boat? Or, will they flee to another island, where they have been stashing cash or gold, leaving Cuban citizens to sink or swim on their own?

How so?
If they can't get cars from the U.S. can't they buy them from China?
Can't they get steel from China? And tractors? And computers?
And can't they buy oil from Iran?
Can't they buy food from Mexico? Mexico sells food to the U.S.?
How does U.S. refusal to trade stop communist countries from doing so?
Cuba wants normal trade relations with the U.S. and that means the U.S. would basically give them free stuff.
They don't get much stuff from other countries because other countries want to sell Cuba products, not give them products.
Democrats smile, thinking millions more...
After he bails them out first, would be my guess.

How about, Trump and some of his "Capitalist Buddies"; get the Cubans to throw out the commies; give Trump and his Capitalist Buddies, 100 year leases, too build "Hurricane proof" Resorts, World Class Golf Courses; Fine Resturants; turning Cuba back into the "Vacation Paradise" is was before the commies took over.
Imagine, Trump Tower Havana
Cuban flotilla Part Duex. Empty the prisons, add the most destitute and send them to the USA for JoeK to sign them up to vote and put them on permanent Gov. welfare.
An island in the middle of the ocean and you can’t find fish in the market.
I would have transformed it into a great country 😊
Don’t worry, China will bail them out. At which point, thanks to Jimmy Carter, China will control both ends of the Caribbean.
My friend and neighbor is from Cuba, his father was tortured in Castro’s prisons for 15 years. He died shortly after being released.
My friend and neighbor is a Trump voter. He hates what he’s seeing transpire in the U.S.
“Communist Cuba is on the brink of collapse”
Be nice if Communist USA was in the same boat...about to collapse and be replaced by something better.
You anti Trumpers are ignorant and choose to stay that way. You’d go commie in your ignorance rather than educate yourself and save this nation.
Cuba has been on the brink of collapse since the 60s. I’m not holding my breath.
I often go to the National Weather Service web site as it has a great view of the Northern hemisphere of America. As it get night you can see the flicker of cities as the lights come on. The USA is well lit, Cuba, mostly dark, Haiti very dark, Puerto Rico, well lit.
But they have free health care…..so there’s that….
“Well Mr. Rodriquez, we have a diagnosis for your condition. It is malnutrition. Unfortunately we have no medicine for that. BTW, I have the same condition if it makes you feel any better.”
They’ll be fine. They have universal health care.
Shock therapy was quite brutal but it worked in Russia for most part. They paid a price in the ‘90s. But they’ve adapted and pretty resilient today despite the sanctions from the West.
“Cuban-Americans vote overwhelmingly Republican.”.
First and second generations of Cubans less so—and getting worse...
