MAN OF THE YEAR: DONALD TRUMP
WND ^ | 12/29/2015

Posted on 12/29/2015 9:54:11 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

'He is positioned to win the GOP nomination and the White House despite all odds'

They treated his campaign announcement as a joke. They tried to destroy his business. They called him every foul name they could come up with. But at the end of 2015, the biased journalists, political consultants, leftist activists, snarky comedians and embittered critics of every stripe had to concede one man had beaten them all.

Donald J. Trump is the Republican favorite for president of the United States. There's no indication he'll fall from the top spot any time soon. And he's the WND 2015 Man of the Year.

"It is my great honor to be named Man of the Year by your publication," Trump said in a statement to WND. "I very much appreciate your informative polls and coverage. Together, we will Make America Great Again."

It's been an incredible journey for Trump. Many supposed political experts and commentators laughed at him when, after years of hints, he finally announced he was running for president. The Democratic National Committee snarked about Trump's "seriousness," treating him as a phony candidate. Leftist comedian Jon Stewart called Trump "a gift from heaven." Politico called him "God's gift to the Internet" and contrasted him with the "more serious candidates."

Yet it's Donald Trump who's had the last laugh. And Trump has not only proven he is in the race to win, he's shown himself to be a skilled tactician and expert communicator, outwitting hostile reporters and political opponents at every turn and surviving media firestorms that would have destroyed any other candidate.

At the start, Trump was savagely attacked by leftist activist groups and journalists after referring to some illegal immigrants as "rapists" during his presidential announcement speech.

Well, the Army of the United States would beg to differ with you, as would the GOP, the Iowa Workforce Development Agency and several other organizations. See the problem in not knowing the person you're talking about?

Perhaps you could apply that same logic to your post at #3 and explain to us all about why you look down your nose at World Net Daily?

"Who put the 'nut' in the 'World Nut Daily'?

You did daddio, you did.

Tell us why.

As I watch Trump, it strikes me that he naturally operates on a level of perserverance so far above his competitors, Washington pols, and media misfits that they are completely outclassed. He is so inherently dynamic, self-assured, and self confident that his presence and aura command control over all the terrain around him. The average media and political hacks vainly shoot spit balls his way and they find there is not a thing they can do to shape the public narrative away from Trump. They are quickly realizing that the only thing that is capable of stopping Trump is Trump himself. What has to be said, however, is that Trump can not achieve victory without his faithful followers. Trump is the spear and we the soldiers that still need to bring this revolution to fruition and kick down the doors of corrupt Washington.

Trump - the true threat to the Washington Cartel.

The RINOs are losing their a$$es and their money and the Marxists are fearful they moved too fast under the Obama regime. Thank God, they did move too fast.

Every red blooded American will jump on board because Americans have had it with the tyranny and anything that smells like it.

This phenomenon is an outright indictment of tyranny.

This is no game...this is our power play, own it.

You left one off of your list .... < b>incompetence

The past 25 years have not had a monopoly on incompetence, but, never before in the history of the United States have so many, so utterly lacking any scintilla of knowledge about how to do anything useful, had such a stranglehold on the levers of US government power.

I think it's a good thing that Trump won Man of the Year from WND. I believe the declining "newsmagazine" TIME also has a Man of the Year contest but I don't believe they've announced their results yet. Or if they have, it had the effect of a tree falling in an empty forest because I haven't hear anything about it.

Last time I read TIME magazine, I hadn't gotten the internet hooked up in the house yet and women were still wearing leg warmers as a fashion statement - as if to say, yes, I'm returning from the gym after a strenuous workout when they were actually returning from the bagel shop. Remember when bagels and bran muffins were supposed to be good for you?

When he becomes a conservative, I’m sure you’ll let us all know.

2DV, why would you jump on to a Trump award/endorsement thread to mock/belittle the award?

You seem to think the dutch endorsement your candidate received is a BIG deal, but slam Trump for this????

(shaking head)....as another poster said, you’re not doing CRuz any favors with your Trump comment(s).

Um....maybe you need to slink back over to YOUR candidates thread and see what kind of ‘grand’ awards/endorsements he’s getting. LOL.

Btw, many evangelicals read WND due to their strong support for Israel. So, there’s that ;-)
