I didn't actually watch the debate, so I'll reserve comment.

That said, the insufferable-and ignorant-crowing by the Dump Trump faction on Twitter was illuminating.

Har-har-har!

The Castros suing in a Florida court. Oh, what a dummy!

as if...

For the next six hours, the attorneys would probe Pepe about tobacco varietals and trademark law. Habanos S.A., the Cuban government's state-owned cigar company, was suing Pepe in U.S. federal court. His offense? Calling his cigars "Guantanamera" — a name Cuba claimed and now wanted to slap on its own stogies.

That was 2005. Ten years later, Pepe is still battling the communist country in court. He's not alone. Over the past decade, the Cuban government has gone after scores of American cigar makers and vendors — most of them Cuban exiles living in South Florida. For local tabacaleros, these legal battles add fresh insult to old injuries. Many fled Cuba at gunpoint, only to find themselves dragged to American court by a country still on the list of state sponsors of terror.
