Politics

Fictional political candidates you'd cast your ballot for are those presidential, congressional, state and local officials who exist only in film and television, but if they were actually running, we might lend them a vote. From the liberal to the ruthlessly evil, for one reason or another, these fictional politicians are among our favorites.Picking which of these fictional political candidates you'd actually vote for is very much dependent on what you find important in your government leaders. Fans of small government and bacon might vote for Ron Swanson from &quot;Parks and Recreation&quot; while someone more set on marijuana legalization may opt for Doug Wilson from &quot;Weeds.&quot; If you want a completely bad ass president, look no further than James Marshall from &quot;Air Force One.&quot;In other cases, picking one of these fictional politicians to elect into office, might just provide the best entertainment money can't buy. Who wouldn't love to have the clueless fictional cartoon version of Adam West in Family Guy as mayor? What about the ridiculous Cam Brady from &quot;The Campaign&quot; or Vanellope von Schweetz from &quot;Wreck-It Ralph?&quot; All might not be best for the job, but watching them in politics sure is entertaining.So whether you would back President Fitzgerald Grant III in the next election on &quot;Scandal&quot; or you admire the ruthless Francis Underwood in &quot;House of Cards,&quot; it's time to pick your fictional political horse to back.

Hispanic-Latinx

We&#39;re ranking&nbsp;the best Latino characters of all time. While proper Latino and Hispanic representation in film and TV has long been absent, newer shows and movies have started including more diverse cast members than ever befor.

Keep in mind that this list of Latino characters can include both heroes and villains - whether they&#39;re catching bad guys, fighting the fuzz, or dealing with troublesome family members, these characters are the ones who&rsquo;ve left the biggest impression on audiences. Latino characters like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite, Tony Montana from Scarface, and even little Dora from Dora the Explorer remain some of the most memorable. Which of these characters do you think is the most iconic?

Vote up your favorite Latino characters or add your own if they aren&rsquo;t listed. That way, everyone can see which&nbsp;characters are the most popular. &nbsp;
