A Presidential Bracket Debate Style is essential after the catastrophic methods used in years past by both parties in which either too many Debate Participants are squeezed into the main event while other lesser known candidates trying to establish themselves are banished into a cursory Debate that is just not taken seriously by the media nor the public.
Having 20 Democrat Presidential Candidates debate in one setting is unrealistic. Only allowing Candidates with a certain minimum percentage of popularity or higher to appear in a debate destroys the spirit of the Underdog having a fair opportunity. John McCain was polling around 1% in the 2008 Republican Contest one year before the Presidential elections yet he became the Republican Nominee, because he was still given a chance to debate.

The DNC should adopt a Debate method that allows all candidates to win their way to the top based on a Bracket style of Debating. Depending on the number of Candidates, Brackets should be created in groups of four. Four Dems debate at a time, Two move on to the next round. Those who don't make it can still get future opportunities in what would be a Losers Bracket.
Each Presidential Debate Bracket would be "seeded" with one member being from the top 4 or 5 in the polls. The other three positions would be filled with lower "seeded" Candidates. Each Presidential Debate Bracket MUST have at least one women in it. If there are not enough women to place one per Bracket, then an additional All Women only Bracket would be created so each Woman running would get two chances to advance.
The Democrat Presidential Debates would be held once a week, the same time and day every week, never more than four candidates per debate. The entire Presidential Debate process could take 3 to 5 months to establish the top tier of candidates but would create a true opportunity for Democrat Candidates to establish themselves.
It is essential that only four candidates appear in a each Preliminary Presidential Debate so that those watching can really focus on the lower number of candidates. Lesser candidates can create a faster pace while giving the viewing audience a better method to compare Candidates within the Debate.
