Game of Thrones comparison
Honestly, watching this show has helped me understand so much about the political inter workings of those in power and the various dynamics and motivation. I dont know if its been done on here before, but which of these current political "characters" could fit Game of Thrones;
LittleFinger Donald Trump
Robert Baratheon -- George W Bush
Tywin Lannister --- George H.W. Bush
Theon Greyjoy --- John Edwards
Eddard Stark -- John Kerry
Cersei Lannister --- Barbara Bush (characterwise)
John Snow --- JFK Jr.
Ramsey Bolton ---- Paul Manafort
Visery's Targaryen -- Mitt Romney
Stannis Baratheon --- John McCain
Vary's -- Karl Rove (apologies to Varys)
Mne so far
