EXCERPT:
RUBIO: “Well, the truth is Cuba has already fallen. It’s not — it doesn’t have a functional economy and it’s governed by people who continue to preach about some revolution that has been dead for 20 years that’s never worked. And that’s the problem they have. The problem that Cuba has basically right now is that it is a failed state in every sense of the word. Now, they may have a government that’s capable of jailing and killing people. They have a regime that’s capable of, and has jailed and killed people. But it’s not a functional government and it’s not a functional country. It just simply isn’t. And in addition to that, it’s one that’s fueled by corruption, graft, and theft. You know, the Cuban economy — there is no Cuban economy that benefits the Cuban people.”
