Hillary Clinton currently has the highest net favorability of any 2016 White House contender. But to put her 19 percent favorable rating in context, she's tied with Boba Fett, the bounty hunter who froze Harrison Ford in carbonite.

Too bad Cthulhu isn't on the list.

Not surprising, really. Lord Vader was a) actively corrupted  from without and b) made an attempt to redeem himself. Both points make him a more sympathetic character than the rest of the list, Hillary in particular.

Lord Vader would be a dictatorship certainly, but he wouldn't tolerate the incompetent buffoons in D.C.  It would almost be funny seeing a bunch of D.C. bureacrats getting choked to death on a daily basis.  Gotta take the good with the bad?
