The Hill ^ | December 07, 2015, 10:41 am | Lisa Hagen

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).

...as Congress is rushing to do things before Trump can get credit for them ...

Evidence, please. Example.

Trump is the obvious Man of the Year for people who live in reality.

My guess is Caitlin.

I'll give you that. It's the safest choice for Time ... and presumably, Trump.

Everyone else is parroting, like Cruz the me too/ what about me, wannabe Trump candidate

You are misinformed. Cruz has been ahead of Trump in action as well as words often. When it came to defending Christian freedom. When it came to Syrian refugees, and Cruz's long stance on immigration (if you would only take the cotton out of your ears) is the conservative, right one -- enforce the laws that exist, which means deporting illegal aliens who are apprehended. PERIOD. He's held that stance for a very long time. Only eight years ago, your guy had effusive praise for Hillary and Bill Clinton!

Trump is a showman!!! Hello???? The reason you think Trump was first is because the media didn't put Cruz in front of your face, and also because Trump is playing to a crowd, telling them what they want to hear. That impresses you???????

Yeah,but he's our self-aggrandizing jerk..so live with it.

Oh, really?

I thought he couldn't be bought? What leads you to conclude that he is limited-government conservative, anti-statist, pro-Constitution conservative?

Pretty much everything I see about the guy (as opposed to all the "terrific" "make your head spin" words he has for things like Obamacare and the military) indicates a left-leaning moderate who likes government done his way.

That may be your guy.

My guy remains the cool-headed limited government conservative, Ted Cruz.

Obamacare. Stopping the refugees (well, Rand Paul tried). I think there were others. Can’t remember right now. I know I thought “So now they do it!” a few times. Aren’t they trying the defunding of Planned Parenthood once more time? Isn’t there someone going after the H-1B visas?

I’ve been busy with work till this morning but now have nothing to do except go to Christmas parties and follow the news and watch Trump speeches, so I’ll let you know if I think of any others.

So Jane, do you believe that, should he win, Trump will govern as a conservative?

If Trump does make the front page of time we all need to take sharpies to the store and write “GO TRUMP” on every copy!

my new "Me Too Ted" graphic ...

Even though Trump and Cruz think differently, Trump wants you to think they don't. He's said so. "Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent," he says when asked about a VP pick.

Which was BS. Just the same, Trump said it.

Why is that?

Yes, sam_whiskey....I do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be supporting him.

I know the boss has no problem in believing in Trump being a conservative, either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be supporting Trump, either.

Do you?

I hope you’re not on the side of the MSM/Dems/Leftists/GOPe/establishment as one who wants to see Trump out of the race.

Are you??

Look who Trumps enemies are. Corrupt Mexico, corrupt MSM, corrupt criminals in D.C., leftist, Communist academia, illegal aliens, Muslims/terrorist and liberal idiots everywhere, mass murdering cartel kingpins, on and on.

Name a Republican politician who doesn't share those enemies.

VERY IMPORTANT! Donald Trump is one of 8 finalists for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. Right now he is in the lead, but he is barely ahead of the Black Lives Matter activists! Even if Trump isn’t your candidate, don’t let Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, ISIS leader Al Baghdadi, Vladimir Putin, or Time’s other evil leaders win! Voting will be over on Wednesday, so go vote now at http://www.today.com/news/times-person-year-2015-caitlyn-jenner-donald-trump-isis-join-t59931

POST THIS IN OTHER GROUPS! All patriots regardless of party or candidate should vote for Trump here!

The MSM covers Trump while Trump publicly calls the MSM a pack of corrupt manipulated liars on a daily basis and the MSM loves him?

Who's your daddy, MSM? (whip lash!)

We're in deep sh*t folks. No joke.

I'm down here in So Cal, too, about 20 minutes from San Bernardino. You are CORRECT.

All the more reason to have a cool-headed Constitutional limited government conservative at the helm instead of a sincerely patriotic but hot-headed self-blown celebrity "billionaire genius."

Government in said skilled hands and sincere intent will only mire us deeper.

The Constitution is how we get out of this. Pray for Ted Cruz.

If Time picks Trump its means they are beyond desperate for revenues... I fully expect this year to go to whichever justice they claim gave us the decision destroying traditional marriage.

Sorry. I don’t have time to come out and play.

I need to catch up on the new Iowa poll thread which shows Trump leading and then there is the Trump rally I plan to watch along with several thousand others.
