Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA)(???) tosses his hat into the race to become the 20th Democrat on the list.
Alrighty then. Still more to come. This is really going to be something.
20 declared, plus six expressing interest (including Biden).
I thought the list of 17 for the GOP in 2016 was crazy. I still wonder if the list had been more like the normal 3-5 if we would have gotten a president Rubio or Cruz instead of Trump.
It may be that the long list in fact favors the clownish candidates, as the others knock each other off. This does not portend well for the 2020 D nomination process.

Between the Iowa Caucus on February 3rd and the day after Super Tuesday, which is March 4th, those numbers will be drastically cut. I think for most of Democratic candidates, the game plan is to try and raise enough money to at least make it to March 3rd and Super Tuesday, after that there might only be 4-5 candidates left.

Yeah, the first four primaries reduce the field in dramatic fashion, every time. Any candidate that finishes that stretch without at least a third place finish is almost certainly done. And you can work the math: 3 X 4 = 12 spots where they can finish 1,2 or 3 in the first four primaries.
Biden and Sanders are likely to occupy one of those spots in all four of these primaries (4 X 2 = 8). If that is correct, then there are four remaining tickets out of the first four primaries, and maybe less if other candidates place in more than one of these races.
Those in the know for the Democrats are likely to welcome this field being reduced to 4-5 candidates at this point. But the Democrat voters are likely to be a little shocked to see the speed that this happens and their actual choices remaining after it does.

So if this poll is anything close to correct, despite the length of the list of candidates, we could actually be looking at a two-person race. While Biden is currently up over Sanders, all but probably 4-5 candidates will be out by the end of the first four primaries (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina - all smaller states).
When all of these extra candidates eventually withdraw, who will their supporters in the states after the first four support?

Sanders, of course. And he will win the nomination. Doesn't take a math genius to see that.
