Comment: So then, Marco Rubio is among other things a tool for the embittered Cuban hidalgos, who cling to the forlorn hope that their peonage run estates will return to them. Rubio doesn't represent the aspirations of 2/3rds to 7/8ths of Cuban Americans.

Cuba has been dirt-poor for decades. The Cuban people will have to be careful not to sell their birthright out to billionaire developers of upscale resorts (several come to mind, such as Sheldon Adelson, Trump's campaign financer, as well as the Trump family itself), or Cuba will find itself in a pre-Castro situation with a few ultra-rich Batistas owning and controlling the island, and thugs controlling law and politics.
