Normally you'd have to go to a youth hockey all-star meeting to see that many white people yelling at each other at the same time.
But it was the Democrats doing all of the screaming as they took to the stage Tuesday night for their final debate before Saturday's presidential primary in South Carolina and the all-important Super Tuesday next week (with 14 states holding primaries, including Tennessee).
Other than the Ridge Cut-like conversation congestion, there was some clarity from Tuesday's verbal skirmishes.
It's clear that Bernie Sanders has survived the last two debates, and since he entered each as the frontrunner and left each with that title intact, well, that's a win.
It's clear that Elizabeth Warren should have been this aggressive two months ago. She has been the most impressive debater the last two weeks, but the last two weeks have felt more like Hail Marys than haymakers.
It's clear that Mike Bloomberg has wasted half a billion dollars on what will be a six-week attempt to get the Democratic nomination. This is the second time he's been on stage and the second time he's looked like a complete bozo.
It's clear that Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar were too moderate, polite and downright decent to be a factor in this. A generation ago, they would have been viewed much more favorably. The days of Twitter, though, often make decent a detriment.
It's clear that Joe Biden had more success with his perma-tan plan than his policies. It's been a long time since that big of a favorite has fallen this flat, huh? Sure, Biden may win South Carolina, but the fact that no one was attacking him Tuesday night spoke volumes about his relevancy moving forward.
But the biggest winner of all last night was again Donald Trump. It's looking more and more likely that Bernie will get the nomination, and friends, he took shots from his foes he could not answer. He has defended and supported Cuba and Fidel Castro - how's that going to play in Florida, which is a must-have swing state in November?
And then there's the simple truth that Sanders' candidacy and outrageous plans for free everything will galvanize conservatives and lots of independents who cannot stomach a vote for a "democratic socialist."
Yes, I voted for Trump last time, mainly as a vote against Hillary. There have been plenty of times that I have even second-guessed that choice, but I also believe the country is in a better place today than it would be if Hillary had been elected.
Is that debatable? Sure. Yes, the economy has been good for a ton of people (a lot more than Democrats are braying about), but our president also has been embarrassing at times on everything from social issues to social media.
Still, if I were to ever consider voting blue, last on my list is Bernie.
The idea of free everything - and scant details about how Bernie plans to pay for his (our) largesse - scares the daylights out of me.
No, thank you. If the choice is between those two extremes, I am sticking with the president.
