Oh, so Canada tried and has had no success, but we'll never know if it works until "we" try it? What jingoistic clap-trap.

Bullshit. Its just that the Dems are all over the place on the issue, including the lying sack of crap presumptive Dem nominee for president.

In her 2000 campaign for Senate, Clinton clearly stated that she wasn’t ready to lift the Cuba embargo. During her first bid for president in 2007, she repeatedly called for reforms in Cuba before any such changes to the embargo.
But by 2014, she was a critic of the embargo and said it hadn’t achieved it’s goals.
In a speech in Miami on July 31, Clinton forcefully stated that she believes it is time to drop the embargo.
Or, maybe the Dems are just more open to normalizing relations with murderous despots than the "right wing" is.
