Headlines call this year’s presidential field “historically large,” focusing on the 24 “top tier” Democrats. But most have ignored the 739 others vying for a slice of the spotlight.

If you look deep enough into this mosh pit of first-time — and longtime — candidates, you’ll find a bevy of Bushes and Washingtons, two Kennedys and a Carter.

There’s a Karen Deez Nutz, not to be confused with a Kanye Deez Nutz West, along witha Pravda and a Baruch, a St. Louis and a Cleveland, a Disney and a Fox, a Brown, a Black, a Gray, a Green and a Greene.

There is a candidate already named President Boddie and a man named Sexy Vegan. Two animals —Seven the Dog and Seymour Cats — are running. Seymour has the better tag line: “If you want to run with the big dogs, you’ve got to vote for a cat.”
