Feel free to share your ranking.
Addendum: Let me explain how I arrived at this ranking. I asked myself the following question: "Which of these 17 candidates would I choose as my president, if it were up to me?" The answer was Ted Cruz. Then I subtracted Cruz and asked the same question. I kept going like this until I reached #17.
Addendum 2: I guess I'm not ethnocentrist, racist, or sexist, because my first choice is Hispanic, my second black, and my third female.
