IMO, the nimrods at FOX decide to actually ask tough and embarrassing. They relish in the look at me for being fair i.e. I can ask tough questions. (Too bad BOR was not on the panel, he could have answered each question for them as he asked it!). Starting off with that ridicules question: will you agree to not run a third party was obviously pointed directly at Trump. They needed to bring him back into the fold so they get to keep the TV ratings going for future debates and guest appearances. Otherwise, if it becomes a runaway, TV revenues decline and their viewership also goes in the toilet.
When the debates shift to the other networks, it becomes a direct attack mode. The problem with FOX’s approach is it puts the GOP presenters in a similar position to playing all away games, never playing before a home crowd.
