POWER RANKINGS: As the primaries come to an end, here's where we ranked all the candidates from the start

The 2016 presidential primaries are coming to their conclusion Tuesday night - save for next week's Washington, DC, Democratic primary - with two presumptive nominees: Republican Donald J. Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Last July, with nearly 18 major candidates running for president in both parties, Business Insider decided to rank each of their chances at becoming president.

Our rankings were based on the Real Clear Politics averages of national polls and those in New Hampshire and Iowa, the first two voting states. We also factored in candidates' fundraising numbers and their momentum (or lack thereof).

How did we do? Not bad!

Amid fervent talk about whether Trump was for real as a candidate, we put him fourth. We definitely ranked too high Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (third), whose campaign ended after 71 days, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (second), who dropped out after South Carolina's primary.

And Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (eighth), who ended up as the runner-up to Trump, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (ninth) were ranked a bit too low.

What follows is our original assessment of the 2016 presidential field, and the end result for each.
