HAVANA — With just weeks until the presidential election, Cubans on the island don’t think either candidate will make a difference in their lives. Many support Hillary Clinton because of her ties to President Barack Obama and his action on better relations with Cuba, but generally Cubans think everything will continue as normal, whoever wins.
