American presidents in movies, television shows, books, and comics tend to fall into two categories. In the first, you&#39;ll find idealized fictional heads of state who are capable, noble, and get the job done regardless of their politics. These <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/us-presidents-worthy-enough-to-wield-mjolnir/bailey-brown" target="_blank">presidents could wield Mjolnir</a>. In the second category, you&#39;ll find caricatures of self-obsessed or incompetent politicians. These <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-presidents-who-mishandled-crisis/dave-schilling" target="_blank">presidents screw up during crises</a>.

So, with a pandemic raging across the planet and the US economy in a headlock, many citizens are turning to made-up commanders in chief for inspiration. If you could vote a commanding character from a set of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/pictures-of-the-oval-office-for-each-us-president/kellen-perry?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Oval Office</a> into the actual office to provide leadership during an unprecedented crisis, for whom would you cast your ballot? Are you looking for the stalwart humanism of&nbsp;The West Wing&#39;s Jed Bartlet? Or do you want a president who will hop in a fighter jet and blast some missiles at the virus,&nbsp;like&nbsp;Independence Day&#39;s Thomas J. Whitmore?

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. Vote up those you'd vote for, add any not listed or re-rank this list of the fictional political candidates you'd cast your ballot for all below!

Fictional Political Candidates You'd Cast Your Ballot For

The heroes in our favorite movies can be&nbsp;as close to our hearts as&nbsp;family members. Closer even, in some cases. You know what you did, Karen. <a href="/list/movies-that-gloss-over-dark-moments/lauren-milici" target="_blank">Movie protagonists</a>, however, serve as moral compasses, people who can do no wrong and always put their own safety on the line for lives of others. Seriously, they&#39;re so inspiring that <a href="/list/action-movies-better-than-oscar-winners/nate-fisher">action movies are often way better than their &quot;Oscar worthy&quot; counterparts</a>. We can be so enamored with our heroes, we sometimes ignore the mass off-screen deaths in movies. The fact is, the&nbsp;good guys sometimes&nbsp;casually kill&nbsp;lots of random, innocent people for their own gain. Of course, <a href="/list/most-unforgettable-superhero-movie-deaths/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">these scenes</a> are rarely shown in detail, but that does not mean their actions do not have consequences, and it goes to show that <a href="/list/movie-heroes-who-are-actually-villains/anncasano">heroes can secretly be the villains of their own movies</a>.&nbsp;

While everyone&#39;s aware of the enormous, inadvertent death tolls racked up by superheroes (Marvel&#39;s done it so frequently, it served as the catalyst for the events of&nbsp;Captain America: Civil War), there are plenty of examples in science fiction, action movies, and even comedies of good guys murdering countless strangers.
