Maybe he assumed people would automatically get his reference given all the Bernie-Castro-Cuba talk *shrug* It's definitely not a signficant leap, unless you believe there hasn't been a disproportionate media focus on Bernie's views on Castro/Cuba/Cuban Revolution the last few days.

The tweet deletion was probably pre-emptive since he gets swarmed by the Bernieverse on a regular basis lol. I wouldn't read that much into it.

I agree that he probably could have worded it better tho. But I also bet breaking out the little one-liner rhetorical devices during high-stakes presidential debates isn't an entirely nerve-proof process lol
