Stephen Colbert gleefully mocks the Democrats during live post-debate show
Watch Next

To tie in with yet another Democratic debate on Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert's Late Show was live, kicking, and packed full of one-liners.

In the 12-minute monologue above, the host jokes about Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg sparring ("wow, that is really punching below the belt — but then again, Bloomberg can't reach much higher"); Mayor Pete imagining a battle between Sanders and Trump ("personally I think it'd be great, because Bernie and Trump are the only two impressions I can do"); and Biden talking about how he's "worked like the devil" to secure the vote of the African-American community ("unlike Trump, who has worked with the devil to get the support of the white community").

The highlight? Quite possibly his breakdown of yet another classic Biden gaffe (jump to 1:30).
