   Yeah, I remember when Fidel was a heroic freedom fighter working to   
   overthrow Batista's corrupt oligarchy. Then Castro declined to follow the   
   playbook and became a pariah. He did have the sense to send Guevara off to   
   anyplace but Cuba.

   revenge by wealthy Miami Cubans like Rubio.
