If Politicians Were Game Of Thrones Characters

#IronThrone2016

Donald Trump = Lord Balon Greyjoy

HBO & Richard Drew

Weird old men with bad hair and outdated opinions, even for Westeros.

Hillary Clinton = Cersei Lannister

HBO & AP

She's part of the King's Landing/Washington D.C. establishment and she's been running the place for ages, even when it looked like her husband was in charge.

George W. = King Robert

HBO & Paul Morse

Does not attend Small Council meetings.

Jeb Bush = Renly Baratheon

HBO & Rebecca Cook

He may be living in his big brother's shadow but at least he can make a mean guacamole.

Bernie Sanders = The Mother of Dragons

HBO & Getty

Even with their lofty ideals and ever-growing supporters, these contenders from the East are still a long shot for #IronThrone2016.

#BreakTheWheel

Michelle Obama = Margaery Tyrell

HBO & Alex Wong

The ultimate FLOTUS.

Barack Obama = Doran Martell

HBO & Newscom

These controversial leaders are all about diplomacy and Hawaii is the closest the United States gets to being Dorne.

RBG = Jon Snow

HBO & Todd Heisler

They both took life-long vows that place them above the politics of the realm. They do what they think is right, even if it isn't popular, and they both wear black, like, all the time.

Al Gore = Ned Stark

HBO & AP

Former Hands of the King who enjoy reminding everyone about climate change.

McCain = Stannis

HBO & Lauren Victoria Burke

Respected guys with solid military records and very questionable taste in their second-in-commands.

Sarah Palin = The Red Priestess

HBO & Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images North America

Religious ladies with the same favorite color.

Huckabee = Wildling Chieftain

HBO & Mike Segar / Reuters

Both of these folksy leaders are campaigning as men under attack: the Chieftain from Night Walkers and Huckabee from people saying "Happy Holidays!"

Carly Fiorina = Yara Greyjoy

HBO & Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg / Getty Images

She commands her own ship and she's always the only lady at the sausage fest.

Joe Biden = Jamie Lannister

HBO & AP

As well-liked members of the capitol's political establishment, these two have a good shot at winning the Iron Throne...if they decide to go for it, that is.

Ben Carson = Qyburn

HBO & YouTube Grab

Not the person you hope to see when you need a doctor. Or a vaccination.

Ted Cruz = Mace Tyrell

HBO & Andrew Burton / Getty Images

Hailing from regions rich in resources, these guys are pretty powerful, even if they don't exactly look it.

Mitt Romney = Tommen Baratheon

HBO & Hong/The Associated Press

Nice guys with a privileged upbringing?

Yup.

An interest in dressage?

Check.

Binders full of women?

You know they got them.

A cat named Ser Pounce?

I mean, probably.

Rand Paul = Robb Stark

HBO & David Becker/ZUMA Press/Corbis

Sure, most of us only knew them because of their famous fathers, but they became strong contenders in their own right. These two are all about regional rights, not restricting weapons/dire-wolves, and cultivating luscious curls.

Jill Stein = Mance Rayder

HBO & Sipa / AP

Jill and Mance are way outside the mainstream but they've got some seriously loyal followers.

#NeverBendTheKnee

Chris Christie = Allister Thorne

HBO & Jeff Zelevansky / Getty Images

They may have been strong leaders during difficult times, but they're both prone to angry outbursts and name-calling. They also like to remind everyone how tough they are: Christie tells it like it is! Thorne had to cannibalize the frozen remains of his comrades to survive starvation!

Nina Turner = Brienne of Tarth

HBO & Tony Tribble / Special to The Plain Dealer

Lesser known warriors out to defend the women of the realm.

Marco Rubio = Robin Arryn

HBO & Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call

These contenders have accrued a lot of power at a young age, but they take their jobs very seriously--unless thirst gets in the way. #DrinkWhenYouGottaDrink

Dick Cheney = King Joffrey

HBO & The White House

The two people most likely to shoot you in the face while quail hunting.
