Thank you and welcome to Cats & Dogs here on Press TV with me, Lembit Öpik. Let's start with political animals in America. These days, United States politics looks a bit like some bizarre sort zoo, where the Elephants that the symbol of the Republican Party - are getting stampeded by the Democratic Donkeys - that really is the symbol for them. And those mules are apparently trampling the elephants almost to extinction. The situation's got so bad that the Elephants have been forced to reach out to the Donkeys for survival!
