Watch: Which POTUS Candidate Would Survive a Zombie Apocalypse?

The Walking Dead follows a scrappy group of survivors who do whatever it takes to stay alive amongst the undead. Seriously, they do whatever. It. Takes. Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) have been put through the wringer and then some, but they're still standing. So E! asked the zombie apocalypse experts which 2016 presidential candidate out there—they too have been put through the wringer, albeit a different kinds—has what it takes to survive a zombie apocalypse? Their picks? They'll surprise you.

"None of them," Austin Nichols told us. "Absolutely none of them…Nobody pops to mind who is going to be incredibly equipped to be in the wild like that." Something tells us this question won't be asked at any of the debates.

But not everybody was as much of a downer as Nichols. Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd was quick to nominate Bernie Sanders because of his "grassroots supporters." Click play on the video above to find out who the rest of the rest and crew named as their picks for presidential candidate zombie apocalypse survivors. Be sure to give Michael Cudlitz props on his Donald Trump impression.

The Walking Dead season six premiered to huge numbers—but not anything record-breaking for the show. The first episode ended with Rick and Co. attempting to lead a horde of zombies away from their settlement, but those plans were derailed by a loud horn that distracted the zombies off course and straight toward the Alexandria settlement. Oh, and zombies aren't the only threat this year. The Wolves are coming. Yikes.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays, 9 p.m. on AMC.
