Dan Schwerin
Here we go...
Jake Sullivan
Adding Laura and Fallon. John, did you have in mind having HRC hit back, or campaign?
John Podesta
I'm good with either. Whatever is faster.
Jake Sullivan
Adding Reynolds.
Perhaps an HRC tweet along the lines of:
Those who seek to lead our country should focus on the future, not try to pull us back to the past. Embargo hasn’t worked for 50+ years. Let’s try something new.
Laura Rosenberger
I like that. Another option:
@marcorubio I’m for the Cuban people. Time to stop helping the Castros through failed policies. Going back to those would be the mistake.
Christina Reynolds
Love hitting him back. Will defer to the policy experts on which one, but I like mixing it up when we have the high ground.
Jake Sullivan
Dan/Brian, would love your input on this.
Dan Schwerin
I like including his handle.
.@marcorubio you've got it backwards: Engagement isn’t a gift to the Castros -- it’s a threat to the Castros. Embargo hasn’t worked for 50+ years. Cuban people deserve better.
Brian Fallon
Like this (w the handle). Lets do it
Jake Sullivan
+ Nick and Lauren.
Lauren Peterson
I vote for just replying directly with no period before the @ - people will see this and it will get pickup. We do need to shorten though - here's my attempt:
@marcorubio That's backwards—engagement's a threat to the Castros, not a gift. Embargo hasn’t worked for 50 yrs. Cuban ppl deserve better -H
Dan Schwerin
ok by me
Christina Reynolds
Is this happening?
Jake Sullivan
I hope so! Can we get it going?
Lauren Peterson
Will nudge the approvals chain right now
