The South Carolina presidential Democratic debate quickly devolved into a scrappy schoolyard screaming match on Tuesday night โ€” all of the candidates furiously talking over each other as the CBS moderators seemed helpless to do anything about it.

CBS News moderators Gayle King and Norah Oโ€™Donnell struggled to keep the unruly seven candidates in line as they rushed to attack Bernie Sanders who they now realize is on an unstoppable march to the nomination.

At one point, all of the candidates were wildly flapping their hands and yelling over each other before former veep Joe Biden chastised their on-stage decorum.

โ€œI guess the only way to do this is jump in and speak twice as long as you should,โ€ Biden said as ex South Bend-mayor Pete Buttigieg went on a long sermon about how Sanders would cost Democrats the House majority, a statistic based on polling conducted by Bloombergโ€™s campaign.
