'Ka whiwhi koe i nga Iranians me nga Cubans e mahi ana i nga mea whakamataku ki o raatau iwi, kaore koe e hoatu ki a raatau he tiakarete me te tiakarete mo te rangi,' i kii te Kawana o Arkansas o mua a Mike Huckabee i muri i te kaiwhakauru o te huihuinga, Bruce Rastetter, he kaitakaro nui i roto i te waahanga kaha whakahou, i patai ia mena i tautoko ia i te whakatuwheratanga o te tauhokohoko me te whenua komuniti. I te whakautu ki taua patai i roto i tana 20 meneti Q me A ki a Rastetter, ko te Kawana o New Jersey a Chris Christie i whakahua i te mema o te Black Liberation Army a Joanne Chesimard me te kii kaore te US e hokohoko ki tetahi whenua e 'whakatairanga ana i tetahi tangata he patu pirihimana.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. 'Ki te whai koe i te Iranians me te Cubans mahi mea whakamataku ki to ratou iwi, e kore e hoatu e koe ki a ratou ice cream me te reka mo te aroha o te rangi,' ka mea i mua Kawana Arkansas Mike Huckabee i te matapaki i hokohoko i te Iowa Ag hui i runga i Rāhoroi. Ko te huihuinga o Des Moines, Iowa, ko Bruce Rastetter, he kaitakaro nui i roto i te rāngai pūngao whakahou. Ka kitea i konei nga kaiwhakataetae i waho o te ra-katoa i kukume i nga tumanakohanga perehitini o runga. Kei te whakaahuahia a Rastetter i konei e mau ana i te karauna i roto i te tohu whakahee. I kii te Kawana o mua o Texas a Rick Perry ko te Perehitini Barack Obama 'i ngaro i te take' o nga herenga ki Cuba me te 'whakapai i te mana o te kawanatanga o Castro' ma te whakahou i nga hononga taapori taumata-teitei. 'He kāwanatanga tēnei e tino taumaha ana ki te iwi o Cuba,' i kī te kaitono perehitini o te tau 2012. Mena ko te kaupapa o te huringa i roto i te kaupapa here ki Cuba ko te whakanoho i te iwi o te whenua ki roto i te 'tuunga pai ake,' e kii ana a Perry, i rahua te mahere a Obama. 'E kore au e tino mohio ka taea e koe te huri i te ahurea o Cuba kia mate ra ano a Castro,' i kii a Perry, me te kore e tohu mena kei te korero ia mo te rangatira o mua o te whenua a Fidel, tana tuakana ranei, a Raul, inaianei...
I ui atu a Bruce Rastetter, he kaitākaro nui i te rāngai pūngao whakahou, ki a rātau mēnā e tautoko ana rātau i te whakatuwheratanga o te tauhokohoko ki Cuba. 'Ki te mea kei te mahi koe i nga mea whakamataku ki o raatau iwi, kaore koe e hoatu ki a raatau he tiakarete me te tiakarete mo te aroha o te rangi,' i kii a Mike Huckabee. I whakahua a Chris Christie i te mema o te Black Liberation Army a Joanne Chesimard, a, i kii ia, kaua te US e hokohoko ki tetahi whenua e 'whakatairanga ana i tetahi tangata he kaitiaki pirihimana' I kii a Rick Perry kua 'whakahē a Obama i te kaupapa' o nga herenga me te 'whakapai i te mana o te kawanatanga o Castro' ma te whakahou i nga hononga taumata teitei. I kii a Ted Cruz he 'kaitautoko kaha ia mo te tauhokohoko koreutu' engari kaore ia e tautoko ki a Cuba. 'Ko ngā Castro he kaitukino nanakia' 'Ko te meka noa iho, he rite tonu ki a Korea ki te Raki, ehara i te whenua e puta mai ana ki te waahi noa atu,' i kii te Kawana o Florida o mua a Jeb Bush mo Cuba.
