Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticizes the Republican National Committee's (RNC) debate format, calling it boring and ineffective in attracting younger and new voters. Ramaswamy proposes holding the next GOP debate on a popular social media platform, X, and suggests conservative commentator Tucker Carlson as the moderator. He has been critical of the RNC's guidelines and performance, calling for RNC chair Ronna McDaniel's resignation and advocating for changes in donor thresholds and debate moderation. The viewership of Republican primary debates has declined, and the next debate is scheduled for December 6 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The author criticizes the recent Republican presidential primary debate, blaming the moderators for the lackluster event. They argue that the candidates themselves are unimpressive, but the debate failed to acknowledge the reality that none of them truly matter to Republican voters, given Donald Trump's significant lead. The author suggests that future debates should be more entertaining and engaging, proposing a wrestling-style introduction, awarding points to candidates, asking mean questions, controlling the tech in the room, implementing a three-strikes rule, and featuring a Trump impersonator in the final round. They offer to moderate the next debate for $300, claiming that the candidates would participate regardless of the unconventional format.
