and that that will be a good thing.

He is wrong on both accounts. Firstly, when the US does a Venezuela or an Iran on Cuba, to the extent that there is any credit to be had The Dotard will monopolize it. He will go out of his way to denigrate and marginalize Rubio, and will succeed in that in RWNJ circles. Secondly, after Venezuela and Iran the Cuba thing will be viewed extremely critically outside of RWNJ circles and being the face of it will not have any utility amongst the population at large.
