Joffrey was an awful person and king even by Westeros standards who was nothing more the pawn to be controlled. My question is how long could he be controlled if at all and if his assassination didn't happen when it did how long would he have lived before he was removed.

Who had the strongest plot armor in the show?
It's a tough call for me. I'd say Jon. Every hoop possible to keep that man from dying was hopped through. Doesn't matter the situation; he will survive it. I've heard others say Dany in Essos.

Google answers kind of just rush past that detail.

Is Viserys Targaryen stupid?
In the books, Viserys wantd a host of 10,000 Dothraki from Drogo's Khalasar to try and take back Westeros. But there's a few major problems with this. The first is that it would have been nearly impossible for a host of 10,000 Dothraki trying to cross the Narrow Sea. Second is the numbers. Robb Stark was able to raise a host of 20,000 northmen to avenge his father, Nedd probably would have been able to raise double that if Robert Baratheon rallied his banners; even if Balon Greyjoy had aligned the Iron Islands with Viserys, the combined powers of the Stark Lannister and Baratheon hosts would have utterly crushed them. On top of that, even if he managed to dethrone House Baratheon and put himself back on the Iron Throne, he would be deposed again because he would have easily been as bad as Joffrey or Aerys Targaryen and there would have been another rebellion

Would Robb Stark have really won the war if he didn’t marry Talisa?
It’s pretty much common knowledge at this point that marrying Talisa and breaking his oath to Walder Frey was a monumentally bad decision on Robb’s part, but would marrying into the Frey family have really helped the Northern army that much? Even if you take out Talisa, Robb still lost the Karstark army and his advantage of having Jaime Lannister as a prisoner. I’m genuinely asking. Would Robb’s marriage to Walder Frey’s daughter really have helped him that much?

Was Edmure Tully actually the best candidate for the Iron Throne?
So we all liked to laugh at Edmure Tully's attempt to put himself forward for the Iron Throne, but the more I thought about it the more I thought he actually may have made the best, or maybe, least disagreeable of the options. It's not so much that he would necessarily be outstanding, but as a compromise candidate I think he's possibly the best option.
Let's consider everyone else from a great house who might be a candidate.
Sansa Stark:
- Has no interest in anything except being queen of the North, so effectively ruled out.
Bran Stark
- Has few personal relationships with anyone outside his immediate family, nobody really knows him.
- Having a Stark ruling and independent North and on the Iron throne just seems like a massive conflict of interest that I don't think anyone would realistically tolerate.
- He's…well, odd. Being the three eyed raven would make him a perfect master of whispers but he also needs to work with people.
- Zero leadership experience.
Jon Snow / Aegon Targaryan:
- Absolutely no interest in the job
- Probably unacceptable to the population who have now been victimised pretty extensively by two Targaryans within living memory.
- Would cause an immediate war with Danarys’ remaining loyalists (though really I have no idea how there is a viable army of them left).
Robin Aryn:
- Barely more than a boy, had been manipulated pretty extensively by Littlefinger.
- Virtually no experience of ruling or leadership.
Yara Greyjoy
- Decent leadership experience, but could only command the loyalty of, what, half the Greyjoy fleet and banners?
Tyrion Lannister
- Probably the most experienced option in terms of actually running a government.
- Given the experience with the past 3 monarch who were all Lannisters/Lannister bastards, I imagine it would be a really tough sell to the population.
- Does not want the responsibility
Tyrells
- In the show at least, it seems like they are wiped out
Martells
- We know basically nothing about the new Prince of Done, but they seem to generally lack interest in what happens outside of Dorne anyway
Gendry Baratheon
- No government experience whatsoever.
- Only very recently awarded his titles, by Danarys, so it's arguable if they even count any more?
- Might be popular with the people if they see him as one of them, but that's not going to go down well with nobles, very few of whom have any idea who he is personally.
So then we have Edmure. Ok so he lacks charisma, he's a bit ‘meh’. But he does have some experience of running a great House, more than many of the other candidates. He doesn't have any really disqualifying red flags though. He's a reasonably decent guy, and even if he'd be a boring King, maybe that's exactly what Westeros needs for a bit?
Lastly, and this may not matter if electing Kings takes off - he's the only one of any of the candidates who actually has an heir. That's a massive vote in favour, because without an heir you'll probably end up with another war as soon as the throne is vacant again.
So there's my argument - I think actually Edmure Tully can make a good case for being the least worst option at the very least.

How successful do you think Ned would have been at consolidating power as both Lord Protector and Hand of the King?
Let’s ignore that it would be out of character.
Do you think he could have done it with Littlefinger’s help?

What if the Exodus Theory happened?
Greetings and good day.
I stumbled upon this post, which details the "Exodus Theory, and it made me wonder.
What do you think would change about the events of GOT if that happened? Would it make for a more interesting plot? Obviously, this is based on the books, so at least some changes would have to be made.
But overall, what do you think?
