Normally I like to post/watch these in order but I couldn't wait to watch this one. Woop, Matt Welch.

MY TAKE: I made my list of the best and worst possible presidents:

Rand Paul (R)

Gary Johnson (Libertarian)

Carly Fiorina (R)

Jeb Bush (R)

Ted Cruz (R)

Scott Walker (R)

Rick Perry (R)

Marco Rubio (R)

John Kasich (R)

Ben Carson (R)

Bobby Jindal (R)

Jim Webb (D)

George Pataki (R)

Donald Trump (R)

Lawrence Lessig (D)

Chris Christie (R)

Martin O'Malley (D)

Lindsey Graham (R)

Lincoln Chafee (D)

Rick Santorum (R)

Jim Gilmore (R)

Bernie Sanders (Ind./D/Socialist)

Joe Biden (D)

Hillary Clinton (D)

Mike Huckabee (R)

Jill Stein (Green)

I acknowledge that my list is imperfect; it's based on how much a candidate seems to want to micromanage our lives and involve us in foreign wars

PRESIDENTIAL TRACK RECORDS: Pundits bloviate non-stop about minute differences in the candidate's mannerisms; they follow the polls breathlessly. But on this show, we look at politicians' actual track records and their actual plans. Stossel gets help from a fair and balanced panel: libertarian Matt Welch of reason magazine, conservative Mary Katharine Ham of Hot Air, and liberal Ellis Hennican of Newsday.

SPENDING: For me, spending is the biggest issue. All the candidates say: "I'm going to be responsible."

The governors running actually have a track record we can compare. Jeb Bush did the best.

IMMIGRATION: In his presidential announcement, Donald Trump attacked Mexican immigrants, and his popularity exploded. Is this how most Americans feel? Our panel analyzes.

SEX, DRUGS, AND GUNS: How are the candidates on social issues? I say all drugs should be legal, but the Republican candidates are all against me on that.

DEMOCRATIC RACE: The media claim the race for the Democratic presidential nomination is getting tighter, and Hillary is no longer a shoe in, but is that true? Our panel weighs in on which Democrat is best, and worst.
