And so many of them are still mad, they call her name every chance they get.

Absolutely most of the best lines and dialogue in the earlier seasons (especially Tyrion’s) are lifted word for word straight from the book. But even with that being the case, the show writers were good enough in their own right that they could match the dialogue with great material of their own. Martin used to write…

Exactly. I am not going around pointing fingers, but I’m not going to sit here and watch people try to gain a mile with an inch of data while ignoring the bigger picture either.

The garbage writing in this episode also stood out to me. It’s like whit, nuance, and intrigue has been cast aside for lines that barely stay on the this side of the 4th wall. I straight up was waiting for the actors to turn to the camera and wink for every info dump/reveal.

I don’t know where they are getting those numbers though because the polls they site is here:

Your close, privileged educated white people voted for BOTH Trump AND Clinton. However Clinton voters were more likely to be educated than not ( I think it was about 75% with degree, and 25% with no college degree).

-The overall margin for college educated whites was 12 %age points in favor of Trump.

The takeaway is, yes Clinton voters tended to be mostly white privileged voters, however this does not negate the reality that the overall majority of white, rich (>50K annually), and educated voters went with Trump. Are you less confused now, here are some links for further clarification.

But that is exactly what you said, I literally copied and pasted from your post like so:

I couldn’t edit my post to add this graph, I would say that it was more of a very simple majority at a 6% difference. Instead of hanging your hat on that 51% like its more meaningful, why don’t you start addressing the 45%.

Educated white women were strongly for Clinton, while white women with less education were strongly pro Trump, however that doesn’t negate the fact that.:

When VH1 just started increasing their original content and had all those “I Love The....” countdown shows I remember this song being in the 90's one and it was the first time I learned what the song was about.

Got about 60% in and moved on to another book. I felt bad for the hero having to be in the midst of this family. The heroine I cant even remember much about her. Also I kept thinking of Downton Abbey.

These private mom groups are something else. You have to be very careful with your digital footprint even if it’s supposed to be a private closed group. Some of the physicians in my fb group are part of another huge closed group, and one of those members got upset over being called out for her supporting Trump and his…

LOL same I wish I had the pic on my computer to post

I stopped at The Drawing of the Three, I’ll eventually finish because I am also a completionist but I’ll be gritting my teeth the whole way.

It irks me to the point it completely takes me out of the story
