A low blow

Sen. Marco Rubio’s insistence that the Univision debate be conducted in Spanish is not providing an even playing field. Patrick Murphy is not a fluent Spanish speaker, and every Cuban American realizes that there is a lot lost in the translation of Spanish to English.

Here is something for him to ponder: El que fue a Sevilla, perdio su silla.” Translate that one.
