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

It’s a little silly to even compare them.
It’s like comparing Days of Our Lives with ice hockey.

I’ve watched “The Blacklist.” It’s getting pretty stale. Basically the same story told a hundred times.

So: She admits that deception, betrayal, murder, rape, sedition, and treason are the norm to her.

Cast Hillary as Cercei?

Producers said they wanted Cercei to be ruthless, mean, rotten, conniving, nasty, out for blood, a liar etc but Hillary was just over the top to the point of disbelief in those areas.

It’s another prop up job, like the debate questions, and the phony questions letterman asked her about NY after she declared for senator. She wouldn’t know GOT from Shinola, though someone ought to point out the similarities bill had to the plunderers and rapists on the show.

Yep - she must have been referring to all the convenience killings and in-family sex.
