So most of the rethugs are upset with the President normalizing relations with Cuba, and some like

Rubio said he will do everything he can to derail I think we are going to see very soon which Democrats want to move forward, and which ones want to live in the past

If aliens came and tried to invade earth and President Obama launched a counter attack they would be advocating for the aliens and attacking the President.
