It's never been said or written that I know of, but Tywin would have gained a lot by poisoning Aerys and making sure he lost his grip on reality.

I agree

Tywin had already gained a lot. The mad kings first few years were actually peaceful when Tywin was pretty much running the realm. I believe Tywin was originally going to take out the Targaryens but Aerys felt he had too much power. Because Tywin originally wanted Cersei to marry Rhaegar but Aerys said Cersei is not good enough for rhaegar and he also named Jaime to his kingsguard out of spite to rob Tywin of his heir

Maester Pycelle served Tywin and could easily send the King. Aerys was healthy and could not go crazy for no reason

Could have avoided crazy king if a Blackfyre was on the throne.

You never cease to amaze me on how you can link everything to the Treasonous Blackfyres

You say that like Blackfyres didn't have their crazies. I'm sure Maelys the Monstrous would've been a great king amirite? Sure it's only one guy out of the ten blackfyres we're aware of but 1/10 is probably a good rough estimate of the crazies among the Targaryens aswell. Frankly, it's probably lower among the Targaryens than the Blackfyres purely because we know so many more Targaryens to water the numbers down.

@BlitzkriegFeuerFrei as far as we know none of them were crazy except for King Maelys and one would think if they were even a little it would be mentioned to discredit their Rebellions plus Targaryens after Daeron aren't having a particularly stable time.
