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).

Amen
MSM under the direction of Obola is using showman Trump to suck all the air out of the 2016 campaign room.
Like it or not, based on facts, behaviors, and affiliations:
Trump = Perot
Trump even took over Perot’s Reform party back in 1998.

Cruz is the most capable conservative adult in the room.

Cruz will never win. He’s too goofy looking with a Mickey Mouse voice. Good man, bad optics.

If Trump is only a "third rater", billionaire, who is a FIRST RATER ?

Agree. They’re puffing him up because he’s a niche product that won’t sell well enough to win on election day.

An effort to belittle, boast, and change the subject.

Saul Alinsky would be proud of his disciples.

No....old Saul would be VERY proud of YOU and your ilk, who troll every Trump thread and spew insults, impugnations, lies, and tripe.

Lots of projecting and finny opinions, in your last post. I’ll try to address the ones that came closest to reality.

Yes, Rush has, for whatever reason, declined endorsements....and has continued that practice, to this very day (as of today’s show, anyway).

He’s had amazing things to say about Trump, as well. Rush is smart and will sit back until the primary plays out.....giving kudos to several candidates, as he goes along.

Your post describes, exactly, the deranged state a HANDFUL of Cruz supporters have fallen in to.

To say the MSM is favorable and supports Trump - over being making Time Person of the Year short list - is a dishonest, laughable joke.

Polutico just posted a flattering piece on Cruz, today...as did WSJ. You can’t get much more MSM than that.

Sorry that the truth has obviously gotten to you.

‘He’s also a patriotic showman. Bet on it at your own risk. And prepare to be embarrassed at best if it wins.’

Don’t be so hard on your candidate. We Trump supporters won’t be at all embarrassed if Cruz wins ;-)

Oh, and I’ll up your cute ‘ping’ ante ;-)

It’s sad to watch these M2T folks melt down.

When they start telling me that the MSM has been for Trump all along, you know the meds haven’t kicked in yet.

These are flat out GOPe shills.

BTW: If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the McCain/Kennedy 2007 illegal alien bill..., oh wait, no it’s TED CRUZ from 2013.

It lacks the path to citizenship, but Ted knows the SCOTUS wouldn’t allow Hispanics to be singled out to be prevented from becoming citizens, so that’s a laugh.

Damn, a lot of flip-flopper averse voters are now adrift.

If Time were an American enterprise, it would be TRUMP in a walk. THE TRUMP EFFECT is unleashed, indisputably, irretrievably unleashed.

Trump has fundamentally transformed American political campaign messaging, and it is obliterating the entire Progressive movement and the PC scam that they are thriving on, in order to propel themselves into mainstream thought and against every tradition that made America great.

Everyone is Trump now. He is a hero. A political Patton.

Thank you for demonstrating that it’s not only Trump, but his disciples, too.

"All in less than six months."

And just with a couple million dollars.

And seven years as star of a prime-time TV reality show.

Primed by prime-time to vote for a patriot celebrity instead of a Constitutional conservative.

You dish it out, but can't take it. LOL You rabid, foaming at the mouth CRUZ, ONLY CRUZ, trump hating TROLLS are the ones who are the nasty ones.

You troll every single Trump thread and even post patently ridiculous tripe about him and his supporters on non-Trump threads. The reverse is NOT true.

Hey. I liked Billy Barty.

He was even cool. As the pool sharp bookie friend in Peter Gunn, telling Pete: "Think tall," when saying adieu.

Robert Reich isn't good enough to polish Billy's shoes! Harrumph!! {^)
