The Elephants, always so rumble-anyone?-ready, their trompitas in the air, trompeteando:

The other malignant element in hemispheric affairs is the anachronistic regime in Havana, a mummified relic from the age of totalitarianism, and its buffoonish imitators. We call on the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean to join us in laying the groundwork for a democratic Cuba. Looking to the inevitable day of liberation, we support restrictions on trade with, and travel to, Cuba as a measure of solidarity with the political prisoners and all the oppressed Cuban people... blah, blah...

baboserías, I know, but I did love the above highlighted language very much... amusing and frolicking adjectives, with solid unequivocal nouns... compared to the Democrats, below, this Republican "word-picking-faena" wins "el rabo y las dos orejas" in the colorful category...

Then the Donkeys, always so careful with their words, always...:

We must work with close partners like Mexico, Brazil and Colombia on issues like ending the drug trade, fighting poverty and inequality, and immigration. And we must build ties to the people of Cuba and help advance their liberty by allowing unlimited family visits and remittances to the island, while presenting the Cuban regime with a clear choice: if it takes significant steps toward democracy, beginning with the unconditional release of all political prisoners, we will be prepared to take steps to begin normalizing relations.
