Donald Trump alienates many in the TV audience when he tries out his insult comedy on his Republican opponents, because he's not that good a comic. Marco Rubio's efforts weren't half bad with the bit about the small hands. Trump is the one who needs help.
So where would Don Rickles fit in that mix? At least half of what makes a joke funny comes from the talent of the joke teller. That's why some comedians end up writing jokes for the ones with the best delivery. Some of the funny people we see on TV would be nothing without their writers.
Donald Trump has great delivery and would be a good comedian if he had good material. If only an insult comedian like Don Rickles would help him, his insult jokes might be funny.
While we wait: A Don Rickles compilation.
