Marco Rubio: “Iran is begging us, both directly and indirectly, let's do a deal, let's talk.”

The deal would bring nearly $100 billion in private investment to Venezuela and lower gas prices in the United States.

Democratic elections are more than just about having an election because you could have an election tomorrow; we’d still be using the Chávez machines and the Chávez electoral committee, and it would not be credible.

In the long term, the future of Venezuela is to have a democratically elected- elected government, in a republic where the country’s leaders are directly accountable to the laws of the country and to the voters of that country.
