'Game of Thrones' Author, George R. R. Martin, Campaigns for Clinton

""Hold the door!" George R.R. Martin surprised volunteers in Santa Fe today to encourage early voting. Learn more: IWillVote.com," tweeted the Hillary Clinton for New Mexico campaign account.

Martin has put his books aside to spend some time speaking to volunteers for Hillary Clinton in New Mexico and writing several online posts about the election.

In his blog, he states:

".......the Trump PACs have rolled out two new television ads in New Mexico this weekend. Both attack ads, natch. One is a cartoon with animated Bill and Hillary characters rolling up to the White House unpacking boxes of scandals. The other features an actress badly made up to be Hillary, in wig and pants suit, destroying phones and hard drives with hammers, drills, chain saws, and the like. Both ads are stupid and offensive, and both confirm and underline the main point I made in my "Simple Observation" post. Hillary's ads feature real footage of the real Donald J. Trump saying the things he really said. These Trumps ads, on the other hand, have to resort to cartoons and over-the-top impersonators because they can't actually find any real footage of Hillary saying or doing anything reprehensible, comparable to the stuff Trump has said.

I cannot possible imagine that any actual voters will be swayed by this stuff. "Hell, damn, I'm going to vote for Trump, did you see what Cartoon Hillary was doing?" But what the hell. Even Honest Abe admitted that you could fool some of the people all of the time..."
