If The Presidential Candidates Were Game Of Thrones Characters
Insiders

This presidential election has become pop-culture entertainment all over the world. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are iconic. Hillary Clinton could be the first female president. The truth of the matter is, none of the candidates are perfect candidates. Recently, Insiders produced a spoof, editing in Donald Trump into Game of Thrones footage. It made me wonder, "What if all the presidential candidates were "Game of Thrones" characters?" Here is what I came up with (spoiler alert).

1. Donald Trump is Tyrion Lannister

This is fairly self-explanatory. Donald Trump is an imp who is not beyond hurting people (aka Tyrion killing his father) to get what he wants.

2. Hillary Clinton is Cersei Lannister.

Again, self-explanatory. Hillary would lie her way to the top. She disregards her husband's infidelities, and partakes in unethical processes such as the email and Benghazi scandals. However, it works and she's powerful and influential.


3. John Kasich is Eddard (Ned) Stark.

Let's face it. You have incredible motives and are the best of the remaining Republican candidates, but it's never going to happen for you. You were fated from the beginning. (RIP Ned).

4. Bernie Sanders is Robert Baratheon.

He wants everything to be good and well, but the way he wants it done doesn't work. He's in a word, somewhat clueless. Nice guy, cares about people, but has his limitations, dying being one of those.

5. Ted Cruz is Stannis Baratheon.

Cruz is angry and entitled. He's egotistical, prideful and everything in between. Stannis is just about as strict as it gets, as is Cruz. However, Stannis loves his daughter and Cruz is quite the family man.

Bonus: The old candidates

6. Carly Fiorina is Lady Catelyn Stark.

She's a powerhouse. Carly was willing to fight hard for what she believed in. Lady Stark stood firm and strong to protect her family. RIP Lady Stark, forever missed.

7. Marco Rubio is Robb Stark.

Ugh. So much greatness gone to waste. Marco Rubio had it going on and wasn't too hard on the eyes, pointing to you Robb Stark. He stood for what was right, but not enough people stood with him. RIP Robb Stark, still depressed you're gone.

8. Martin O'Malley is Renly Baratheon.

Not a bad guy, but out before the fight even began. Martin O'Malley was handed his fate, overshadowed by his grand competitors. Like Stannis and Melisandre crushed Renly, Bernie and Hillary crushed O'Malley. Sorry bud.

9. Ben Carson is Petyr Baelish.

He's smart and that's about all he's good for. You should stay a surgeon Ben Carson and Little Finger should stay a brothel owner.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
