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).

In the face of PLAIN EVIDENCE that the MSM is making this "all about Trump," you unblushingly state: "The Media has been anti-Trump from the day he announced. Hardly a single positive article has been written."

By the way, did you happen to watch The History Channel special on Trump? I haven't seen it. People who have watched it use it as reference to back up their confidence in Trump's mighty past accomplishments.

If Trump's accomplishments in amassing wealth through real estate is enough to trust him to "fix anything" he sets his mind to, why not get a guy who does it four times better? In the world of American real estate billionaires, Trump is ... meh .... in ranking.

If the MSM ever presented him as such (and it might in desperation), you would be so busy being outraged at the motive, that you would remain blind to the essential truth of the point being made. But by then, it may be too late.

If Trump gets the nomination, conservatives will have lost. It will be business as usual because for all his bluster, Trump is a political moderate.

Boasting and condescending. A charming "argument" for supporting your candidate.

The behavior of a candidate's supporters speaks volumes about the candidate.

Are you telling me that you really don’t realize that?

Wow!

Tell me Finny, do all Trumps other enemies such as the corrupt country of Mexico, the corrupt criminals and insiders in D.C., leftist, Communist academia, illegal aliens, corrupt political PAC's, Muslims/terrorist, liberal idiots everywhere, the IRS, and mass murdering cartel kingpins, also love Trump?

So instead of arguing or explaining the truth of the evidence -- that the MSM took a story about Cruz and made it all about Trump -- you want to change the subject on the supremely emotional and twisted premise that somehow I am saying that all of Trump's enemies love him.

Man ... talk about supporters being like the candidate.

May cooler heads prevail at the ballot box and in the White House.

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

Right on the money. Great post.

Finny, give it up.

Trump is rich, has a beautiful wife, a great family, $10 billion, and buildings with his name on it.

Dealing with the @ssholes in DC would be a step down for him.

Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is treatable, but you have to want to be helped before you can get help.

In the meantime I have a one step program for you.

The one step is --stay off the Trump threads!

You obviously are abjectly lacking any knowledge of anything at all and have no humerous bone in your body.

Do you know the history of TIME covers/MAN ( or person ) OF THE YEAR . Hitler was one, so have been many other evil people. OTOH, so have been some truly wonderful people.

You're an idiot.

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

Click on the LINK.

Scroll down ... down .... down ... down ... until you find him. Maybe take a glance at the names of the guys who are worth three, four, ten, and even nearly 20 times as much. Then tell me he's a "first rater" in that context.

Look at the truth.

Was Reagan a political moderate?

Trump is running on Reagan’s platform plus immigration and trade issues.

The man is anti-Islam, anti-illegal-alien, and anti the U. S. getting rolled in every trade agreement.

You’re just bitter because Ted is also a flip flopper and can’t gain traction.

If I can’t trust Trump for flip flopping, why should I trust Cruz who also flip flops?

I didn’t watch the history channel. I don’t consider that to be a part of the MSM.

Trump elected to run for the presidency. He’s not running against other CEOs. He’s running against others who opted to run. I have no idea how that mind of yours thinks that was a powerful argument against Trump.

Trump’s organization is sought out around the world to manage other companies projects. Does that sound like his firm (he) is not respected?

You're just a worthless, stupid, green eyed monster troll, whose bias and Trump hatred colors all of your banal posts.

Ignore the truth about Trump staring you in the face.

I can’t count the number of times you have brought up this list. What possible connection does it or the number of billionaires in this country have to do with Donald Trump? Are any of them running for office?

That is absolutely the funniest thing I have heard all day!

You can dish it out, and have been NON STOP for months, but let a couple of us “Trumpsters” fight back and WE are the ones who are boasting and condescending???

I hope you don’t mind that I am sharing this with some fellow vulgarians.

I’m sure they will appreciate the laugh as well.

The irony is so thick -- this guy is defending a blowhard celebrity with 26 years of leftist moderate history because he believes in heroes -- and thinks we're blinkered and blind because we are looking at truths he is squeezing his eyes and ears and mind and heart closed to.

I really pray folks wake up in time.

Trading principle for populism is as blind as one can be. 'Electability' is a myth.

Who else in the world deserves Time’s man of the year more than Trump? Nobody.
