Marco Rubio wilts under stress, sweating and mumbling. Not good leadership quality.
Although Marco Rubio’s parents left Cuba BEFORE Castro achieved his revolution, the country was, at the time, under the control of a DIFFERENT bunch of thugs, specifically the Mafia, with the benevolent eye of Fulgencio Batista keeping it “safe” to operate their rackets openly.
With Castro, Cuba traded one form of oligarchy for another, with even more coercive use of repression of economic opportunity.
It was not better.
