I would agree...it was an attempt to sell people on DeSantis and/or Haley. They probably added up the numbers from each debate and realized that the only person gaining ‘respect’ was Vilek. So they are a waste of time.
Looking back over 20 years, I’d now say that 99-percent of the debates run by the Republican national folks...were marginal or failures. Planned this way or accidental, I can’t say.

You have displayed the real problem with these in your post as nothing more than a meat market display of different cuts all beef or all pork and so on. But these glamore shows don’t really accomplish anything. If the candidates were actually backing the platform of the party, they would all sound like a broken record.
But they weren’t sent to their, and God knows I get a bad taste in my mouth with this word, “respective” positions either senate, house, or the POTUS/vicePOTUS positions to represent themselves for that state across the nation. They were voted in by people sold on local interests. So the buck actually stops there, for a while.
They play act for national/international business. And most only recognize diplomacy when it agrees with the people who vote them in. And the more they seem to be voted in the more they wish to keep their job and not do the will of anyone to include those back home. People like Arnold made a living at flexing their muscles in public. The only difference is that one was almost naked and could hide nothing while the other is still hiding in the basement only coming out to be worshiped...for nothing.
