Equating the War of the 5 Kings to the U.S. Republican Primary Race.

Joffrey = Donald Trump.  Says and does outlandish things.  Has a solid base of support but everyone else hates him.  Has lots of money.  His hair is an issue with some people.  

Stannis = Jeb Bush.  Younger brother of former ruler.  Is seen as stiff and boring and has small but dedicated support.  Few people take his claim seriously but he keeps trying anyway.

Ted Cruz = Renly Baratheon.  Young claimant that is quite popular among the establishment.  Seeking a marriage with another young, powerful person (Rubio) to seal the deal and simply overwhelm the opposition.  Will probably fail anyway.

Rob Stark = Rand Paul.  Most see him as a usurper to the traditional power structure.  Dedicated to the ideals of his father to the point that it will be his undoing.  

Balon Greyjoy = Ben Carson.  Has a small but dedicated following.  His strange ideas about his religion make him seem like a weirdo in the eyes of his opponents.  Is probably better at his usual job (reaving/neurosurgeon) than he would be at ruling.

Disclaimer:  This topic is supposed to be a fun discussion about the parallels between the above candidates and who you think they share similarities with in the major players in the presidential race.  Please do not turn this topic into bickering about politics IRL in the U.S.  (probably unavoidable)
