Trump can be Don Rickles and Cruz/Rubio are Dan Quayle.

That is a GREAT analogy! They just came off as irritating, whereas Trump was bitingly humorous. I think in Trump's case, "It's funny because it's true" applies. With the also-rans, not so much.

At least Ben Carson is smart enough to not be sarcastic and witty in public. For that I give him much credit. Ben is the right fielder in this little league game which the GOP has fielded.

Cruz is Ty Cobb (nobody he knows likes him). Rubio is Fernando Valenzuela (little hispanic guy with one good season). Christie is John Kruk (fat slob that used to hit hard). Jeb is Mike Schmidt (there is no crying in quitting baseball). Trump is Tug McGraw ( spent most of his time growing tomatoes in the outfield bullpen until he was needed to get things turned around).
