Edmure Tully Should've Been Made King

So there was that "funny" moment at the council where Edmure stood up and put himself forward to be king, only to be told to sit down by Sansa. But really, who was the better choice? Lets look at the options:

Bran: I don't think I need to explain why this was a bad choice.

Sansa: She wanted the north to be independent, so she’s out.

Robin Arryn: I’m not sure he is even capable of ruling the Vale much less all of Westeros. I know he was young, but in the scenes we saw of him, he seemed like a gullible and stunted child, which is probably the fault of his mother, but even so.

Gendry: Hard to know if he's even the valid ruler of Storms End, as he was only legitimized by the recently dead tyrant and has no experience ruling anything ever.

Dorne person: Whoever that was that just took power there after that mess, he doesn't even have a name listed in the credits.

Yara Greyjoy: Better than some of the other options, but do you really want the iron islands people in charge of everything?

The Tyrells are gone, so nothing from them.

Tyrion seems to be the last Lannister, and he himself said he couldn't be king.

Meanwhile, there's Edmure. Born to a noble family, been preparing his entire life to rule, maybe not all of Westeros, but still, trained to rule. Had a somewhat dumb moment where he got antsy and didn't wait for Rob's orders, but it wasn't just some idiot move for no reason, and he learned his lesson from it, as well as being humbled by his years in captivity. I guess he's not a great archer, but that hardly matter when it comes to ruling. He's young enough to rule for a while, but not so young as to be an inexperienced child. He would have good relations with the newly independent North as its ruler is his niece. No big conflicts with anyone, no issues of contention (especially now that the Freys are gone). He's not the flashy pick, but he's a good one.

All hail Edmure of house Tully, king the 6 kingdoms of Westeros!

Robert got the kingdom heavily in debt, pragmatically how would the crown pay it back?

This is more of an economics question, perhaps also relevant to the real world economies not just game of thrones! Realistically how would a king pay back all these debts to Tywin and others like the iron bank? Would the crown raise taxes? Cut spending in other areas, try and increase trade?

Was Jon vs Styr the Thenn a parallel?

Was the fight supposed to be a nod to Rhaegar vs Robert? Not just the obvious fact Jon is Rhaegars son, but the big brute with a heavy weapon vs nimble sword wielding targaryen?

Anyone find it odd Roose Bolton drew the line at "killing The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch"?

His reasoning: "You'll unite every house in the North against us!"

Ummm, everybody already hates y'all because of the whole "Red Wedding" thing.

All that did was prove that there are no depths the Lannisters, Freys, and Bolton's won't sink to.

A little late to be worried about your reputation now.

As awful as it is to say, Ramsay was more practical (and self aware) than his father was in that scenario.

Shame Roose got poisoned by his enemies before he could figure it out.
