Tuesday night's fourth Democratic debate represents the largest presidential debate in television history. That's not a joke, either! The operative word there is televised though because there's definitely been at least fourteen men, drunk in a bar, arguing who would be the best president, which in our estimation counts as a presidential debate. But just outside Columbus, Ohio, a dozen Democrats descended on Otterbein University for the Hunger Games of primary debates. While no one engaged in hand to hand combat, Elizabeth Warren prepared a plan to help nurse the most innocuous of burns once the night is over.

This fourth debate includes 12 contenders—the center of the stage reserved for the most viable at airtime. That means that Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, and Bernie Sanders are perceivably the most likely to take the nomination prior to kickoff. But that doesn't count out Kamala Harris, who falls just outside the main fray. There's also Tulsi Gabbard who absolutely showed up for the debate, despite the fact that she threatened to boycott it. She joins billionaire and Christmas tie enthusiast, Tom Steyer and nice guy with a heart of rock and roll, Beto O'Rourke. As the night progressed, the threat of chaos only increased. Twitter took note and fired off its hottest of takes, and that's why we're here: to capture the best jokes, puns, and burns the most logged on could offer.

Gentle reminder that the Democratic Convention, where a final candidate will be chosen, is still eight months away. Then we get to see one of these contenders face off against Trump for five more. Buckle up. It's going to be a long thirteen months.
