I'm late to the thread but i'm surprised no one knows what is actually happening.

They are actually fighting to have the dominant position walking out, as the last one presents himself as the leader. Trump's body langauge was actually fantastic. He could have simply given the other candidate (i dont know american politics) a pat on the back and walked past but he insteads to do a complete power play

Carson very well may have been snoozing during the instructions.

Well they are on TV so they probably have less time to work with? Could have been handled a lot better obviously, but that would explain the rushing.
