  • Lloyd Bentsen

  • George H. W. Bush

  • Al Gore

Answer

Dan Quayle famously told Lloyd Bentsen that he was "no Jack Kennedy" during a debate between the two candidates for vice president in the 1988 presidential election. The comment was seen as a gaffe on Quayle's part, as it suggested that he was not as qualified for the position as Kennedy had been. Bentsen went on to win the debate and the election.
