Paul also agrees with Sharpton
Oh , so give Cuba everything it wants while the US gets nothing but the bill , OK
A Cuban ancestry politician said on TV said today younger Cubans favor this Obama move.
Looks like Rand is only going after the younger voters who are not known to vote in large numbers! He is lecturing at every university who will tolerate him.
FURP!!
Just like his Daddy Ron.
I am so over this guy.

The only way USA/Cuban relations and trade agreements will ever be normal is when the Castro brothers are toasting in Hell with the Kennedy’s.
Until then - there is nothing to be done.
Which is why I regard Rand Paul as a loose cannon, wholly unprincipled, and probably a certifiable nutcase.
Definitely a strike against him in my book.
I can agree with stopping embargos at some point. The Castro’s are on their way out. Many people have lived many years under their oppressive government. I might would wait until Fidel is dead, but that won’t be much longer. Better relations with Cuba could help prevent another despot from taking it over after the Castro’s are gone.
What you’d expect from a Libertarian, and one whose first reaction to anything is, “How can I be different from any other Republican?”
Apple not having fallen far from the tree...
Sanctions don’t usually work on regimes like this. It’s pretty obvious it won’t work on Cuba. Why not ease the burden on its people? Some prosperity might help. Might not. Certainly our current policy is worthless. Failing invading Cuba and hanging the Castros and their apparatchiks I don’t see any point in continuing a failed policy.
Adios rand.
Rand Paul Goofball.
I’m so glad Randi and Mario showed their true selves so early.
I don’t understand Rand or his nutty father.
There’s no need to be surprised by anything Rand Paul says. His core beliefs are totally consistent with libertarian principles. Which means much of what he believes in and supports is identical to a hard core leftist (same-sex marriage, open borders, legalized drugs, legalized prostitution, defunding the military, letting rogue dictators operate with impunity, due process for foreign terrorists). It’s always been laughable to watch him try and hem, haw, dodge and change the subject when one of these topics comes up that he doesn’t think the mainstream public is “ready for” yet.
Gee I miss all those sleazy goose stepping Paul followers...wonder what hole they crawled into?
Just wait for him to give Castro the American installation at Guantanamo. This will happen before 2016.
He promised to shut it down and he will do it and give it away.
