Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate had its share of policy and substance, but it also offered plenty of fodder for jokes.
From Andrew Yang’s decision to ditch the customary necktie to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) gesturing so wildly he almost hit former Vice President Joe Biden, there was plenty of material to work with:

Our wish: when they return from break everyone is tie-less and exasperated and Yang is wearing all of their ties and the crowd is going nuts and we never find out what happened. #DemDebate

Yeah, that's me. You're probably asking yourself: How'd he get into this situation? https://t.co/OGXCxoZ8US
.@cenkuygur with a debate-worthy one-liner to sum up Biden’s night: “No wonder he was against busing. Cause Kamala Harris just threw him under one.”
