Marco Rubio to Hillary: No More Failed 'Resets'
Marco Rubio on Hillary Clinton's Call to Lift the Cuban Embargo
After Secretary Clinton's failed 'reset' with Putin, now she wants to do a 'reset' with Castro. She is making another grave mistake. Unilateral concessions to the Castros will only strengthen a brutal, anti-American regime 90 miles from our shore.
President Obama and Secretary Clinton must learn that appeasement only emboldens dictators and repressive governments, and weakens America's global standing in the 21st Century.
As president, I will stand with the Cuban people and only support an end to the embargo that is accompanied by real democratic reform.
Jeb Bush: Cuban People Aren't Imprisoned by Past, They're Imprisoned by Castro
Jeb Bush on Hillary Clinton's Endorsement of Ending Cuban Embargo
It’s insulting to many residents of Miami for Hillary Clinton to come here to endorse a retreat in the struggle for democracy in Cuba. This city has become a home and a refuge to thousands and thousands of Castro’s victims. Secretary Clinton’s call to abandon the embargo – and the principles of democracy and freedom for the Cuban people – in exchange for nothing in return from the regime in Havana adds insult to the pain they and their families feel.
The American people deserve principled leaders who will stand up to our adversaries and stand up for our values. Secretary Clinton’s politically expedient embrace of President Obama’s unilateral concessions to Cuba makes clear she will do neither.
The Obama-Clinton policy is rooted in a false narrative that paints the embargo as a relic of the Cold War. They claim to want to free Cuba from the past, but they misunderstand the present. The Cuban people are not imprisoned by the past, they are imprisoned by the Castro regime.
Americans, especially our government officials, should listen to the stifled voices of Cuban dissidents who languish in prison or are harassed by Castro’s security services, rather than mouthpieces of the Castro regime.
Hillary Clinton had it right when she once said – consistent with the law of the land – that removing the embargo should come only when Cuba is on the path to democracy. She has abandoned that principled position, and with it she has abandoned the people of Cuba who aspire at long last to experience a free and democratic society.
I long for the day when the Cuban people are free from oppression and free to choose their own leaders, and, if elected President, I will be committed to helping them achieve that long-denied liberty.

Scott Walker: Clinton's Misguided Cuba Policy
Governor Walker Statement on Hillary Clinton’s Misguided Cuba Policy
Today, after Hillary Clinton’s speech in Miami, Governor Scott Walker released the following statement on her misguided Cuba policy:
“Hillary Clinton’s support of this administration’s misguided Cuba policy is further evidence that if she is elected, she will be nothing more than a third term of the Obama presidency.
When President Clinton signed the embargo against Cuba into federal statute, it was in response to the Castro regime’s oppressive treatment of the Cuban people, its despotic grip on power, and rampant corruption. Nothing has changed. These problems still remain. And yet, the Obama-Clinton policy is to reward the Castro brothers, provide them with a financial lifeline, and turn a blind eye to their egregious human rights violations.
Americans deserve a leader who won’t make sweetheart deals with dictators, and as president, my approach to Cuba would be the opposite of President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s failed policy. That means leveraging our strength to advance U.S. interests, facilitate greater economic and democratic freedoms for the Cuban people, and secure relief for those harmed by the Castro regime's oppression.”
