I think they should have a bidding process to determine more debates since that is clearly what Democrats want in the election. Democrats want more debates period. So the process should include more debates. The bidding process should happen sooner than later. I know schedule favor Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina. Though placing the debates at strategic times before Super Tuesday is definitely important. The debates would be televised.
