The Fox debate format isn't that much of a disaster

Uninformed voters who may not be acquainted with the candidates need a way to separate the frontrunners from the underdogs. Cutting out low-polling candidates shows uninformed voters which candidates have a real shot at winning the nomination, and allows them to focus their attention on those candidates.

National polls this early in the process do not accurately indicate who will win the nomination, but they do show fairly well who will not.
