Trump makes shortlist for Time's Person of the Year
The Hill ^ | December 07, 2015, 10:41 am | Lisa Hagen

Posted on 12/07/2015 7:56:05 AM PST by GonzoII

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump made the shortlist for TIME magazine's 2015 Person of the Year for his "populist rhetoric" in the 2016 presidential election that has "stirred debate about the party's future."

The magazine released its shortlist Monday morning with Trump making the cut among other finalists including Black Lives Matter activists, Russian president Vladimir Putin and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Nice try, sam. But, no sale. Trump’s policies...immigration, taking care of our vets, 2nd Amendment, immigrants from Syria, etc....all are conservative and trump any other candidates positions...old or recent.

Glad to hear you’ll support Trump if he’s the nominee. Many Cruz supporters refuse to say that.

More damned lies !

Trump has supported Reagan and many other CONSERVATIVES all of his life.

Yes, he did donate to some on the wrong side, but it was the price of doing business; you fool.

America and Americans ARE waking up and are for the next president of the USA...DONALD J. TRUMP !

And since you have such a problem with Trump supporters, perhaps you should confront the host of this site, since JR is also for TRUMP ! I want to see you and your ilk post to him, what you post to me and others ! If you don't do that, we'll all see you for exactly what you are.

No, I truly do not.

OTOH, you and your ilk have driven MANY posters from having ANY positive feeling for Cruz!

Boy was I wrong! I thought It would be a run off between Al Gore and The Weather Channel For Global Warming.

I am now crushed, just a shell of a man, another mangled, broken human being in the cruel game of life.

I wasn't "hawking" any of those nothingburgers and had to hold my nose to vote for them.

Are we to assume, from your post, that you didn't vote for the last several GOP candidates? If so, that makes YOU far worse !

Amntn, you are very right! Trump-haters have been on the attack for months. It’s unbelievable. There is nothing wrong with being genuinely happy for a candidate who is leading in the polls, particularly a candidate who wants to make America great again!!!

ROTFMLSO !

Trump is the ONLY one who has THE best chance to be the next president, from the cast of many in the GOP race!

Obviously, your TDS has turned you into a political moron; one who refuses to actually see reality.

"CLOSET"?

"SNIFFING CLOSET" ?

You certainly are some kind of a weirdo pervert....you poor baby.

You and other Cruz supporters have been posting lies about Trump for months and have been very insulting.

I, and others, have decided enough is enough and we are fighting back in the same manner we have been treated.

If you can’t take it then don’t dish it out.

Thank you for the support.

I have really grown tired of them.

Especially when he said I was being condescending.

You know what I mean because you have taken the brunt of condescending Cruz supporter attacks.

Deny ("More damned lies!" when there are links galore to prove that they are true), excuse ("the cost of doing business; you fool." sic), and avoid ("perhaps you should confront the host of this site")

Links to prove your claims that I have lied, please. Otherwise it is only so much hot air. While you're at it, how about PROOF that he supported Reagan. All I've seen is a photo of him with Reagan, and quotes from Reagan praising his entrepreneurial spirit, but for all my searching, I have found ZIP ZERO NADA evidence that "Trump supported Reagan." I can show you pictures of Ronald Reagan with Michael Jackson, too.

Second ... how do you know the Republicans/conservatives he supported, he didn't ONLY do as "the cost of doing business"? YOU DON'T. You assume it. In FACT, for 21 of the past 26 years -- during which he switched parties three times, (call it a lie but if you do, you are the one lying), Trump donated MORE to "the wrong side" than to Republicans, as the cost of doing business; only about five years ago did he donate exclusively to Republicans .. like Romney and all the rest of the GOP moderates.

Correction -- only about five years ago did Trump start donating exclusively to Republicans. YOu have to ask yourself -- was it the price of doing business, the price of "winning" the White House, or because he really likes Republicans like Romney? Remember he endorsed McConnell in 2014. He endorsed McCain, and he endorsed Romney.

As a cost of doing business? Or because he likes McCain's and Romney's big government style of "making America great"?

You can judge what a man will do by what he says he'll do. Go ahead, you won't be the first. I am old enough now to have learned to judge what a man will do by what he does and has done.

Trump and his father donated to Reagan and Reagan had Donald to the White House and praised him.

You really should stop digging that hole you're in.

Gosh, you found ONE Republican politician hanging with ONE of those many enemies on the list, and very much out of context. How about -- I can show you proof of $100,000 Trump donated less than 10 years ago to the very woman Trump says today "is so corrupt she shouldn't be allowed to run" -- that woman being Hillary Clinton).

So much for Trump's supposed judgment on great people to surround himself with. How did he become a [comparatively third rate] American billionaire again ...?????

You bend your mind in pretzels all to support the highly emotional and baffling contention that when I say (and provide evidence) that the MSM obviously wants to keep it "all about Trump," I am somehow saying that therefore none of his enemies are behaving like enemies, from corrupt Mexico and DC politicians, to Communist academia.

Your own arguments are reason enough to reject Trump.
