Hillary Clinton says 'Game of Thrones' best describes life in politics
The Hill ^ | April 13, 2019 | MORGAN GSTALTER

Hillary Clinton on Thursday said that “Game of Thrones” is the television show that most accurately reflects her life in politics.

The former secretary of State was asked during a New York event to pick which small screen depiction gets Washington right.

“May I ask you — this is a question I get a lot because I lived a life in politics, nothing like yours — which is closer to reality of life in politics, which TV show? 'The West Wing' or 'Veep?'” moderator Paul Begala asked.

“Oh, probably ‘Game of Thrones,’” Clinton quipped as the audience laughed. “At least in my experience.”

The former presidential candidate has referenced the pop-culture phenomenon in the past and compared herself to the ruthless character of Cersei Lannister.

She wrote in her post-election memoir “What Happened” that she saw her treatment at the hands of Trump supporters to be similar to the treatment the powerful queen received.

“Crowds at Trump rallies called for my imprisonment more times than I can count,” she writes. “They shouted, ‘Guilty! Guilty!’ like the religious zealots in ‘Game of Thrones’ chanting

Hillary missed her calling. She could have been an actress.

‘Game of Thrones’? Her life is more like a combination of ‘The Munsters’ and ‘Breaking Bad’.

Hillary Clinton did miss her calling ....she should have spent her entire life behind bars!!! And...by the way, very few Americans give a hoot about what the “Clintons’ think or have to say and, that also a big ditto for the Obama low life!!!

I knew there was a reason my interest in GOT has dropped to the point of apathy. As always the leftist a-holes who run Hollywood went to work on the story line and script. By the end of season 6 women ran EVERY kingdom, was run by women, as if.

Veep. Hypocritical, egoistic, unprincipled, and worthless people in high places.

So she admits to a Lannister level body count?

Bill, how about going for a real Razorback hunt.

One might be tempted to compare Hillary to Queen Cersei, but I respect Cersei much more than Hillary Clinton. And Lena Headey (the actress) is far more easy on the eyes, and the ears.

Chuckle...

If it DID really reflect “Game of Thrones”... she wouldn’t be around long enough to make that observation.

LOL, the Left is always wrapped up in "make believe". Ha ha ha—"handmaidens" or "thrones", leftists idiots live and breathe fantasy. They can't seem to accept that this stuff is only a TV show.

I remember them playing "dress up" at the Kavanaugh hearings. I'm sure they are all anxiously awaiting Halloween so they can wear their "thrones' costumes.

Yes, picture Hillary in the walk of shame! That would be the end of the show.

Cersei Lannister is a horrible, sociopathic murderer who delights not only in killing, but in torturing her enemies. Her children were the product of incest with her brother, and she tried to have her other brother killed.

So to the extent that's how she sees herself...it fits.
