Play of the Day: Hillary Clinton is the Mother of Dragons
The Nightly Show deftly compares the 2016 field to Game of Thrones.
The only political conversation on late-night television Monday was around Hillary Clinton's official announcement of her 2016 candidacy. Her video took particular heat from hosts, with The Daily Show's Jon Stewart saying she shared too much of the video's time with others and The Nightly Show's Larry Wilmore comparing it to a Viagra ad. Hosts also took shots at her van tour, her opponents and her husband's famous libido.
Wilmore used the Clinton announcement to compare her and her political life to Daenerys Targaryen and Game of Thrones. In this scenario, Bill is Khal Drogo, Barack Obama is Robert Baratheon and you'll never guess which family lines up as the Lannisters.
