If Trump is the winner then Time should pay millions for the privilege of using The Donald’s image to sell their magazines.

As for Putin and the rest though, they have a fraction of his numbers. Trump’s ratings make him the best choice for whichever office is being filled.

Don't think Yeltsin did, though.

I recall he made MOTY for Vodka Illustrated five years running.

It's hard to say who they will pick, but I think it comes down to these three:

Barack Hussein Obama: He's had a bad year, and this will give them a chance to prop him up a bit.

Bruce Jenner (I don't care what name he calls himself - he'll always be Bruce Jenner): Time may pick him in order to jump on the band wagon along with ESPN and Vanity Fair, telling us how "courageous" he is.

Black Lives Matter: It's the politically correct thing to do. Snubbing them would be racist in their minds.

As I thought, the on-line vote has no relationship to how the Time editors voted.

It’d be nice if al-Baghdadi’s *thanks for participating award* was delivered to his front door on a AGM-84 Harpoon missle.

There was a time I subscribed to both Time and Newsweek along with US News and World report along with a daily newspaper.

That was when I believed they were neutral observers.

I am not sure when I began to realize that their version of “truth” was not exactly what I believed was true. Eventually I gave up on all of them.

It was much later I discovered Rush, and then eventually the internet and many difference news sources. I can now get information from many sources and decide for myself.

Time Magazine has forgotten what it’s main purpose in life is (to sell advertisement). They think their main purpose is to support Liberals. Their falling circulation and advertisement revenue shows they are failing in both.

Merkel

A woman and communist who is destroying her country and EU’s remnants of Western Civ.

I wonder how much the Sauds are paying her?

Vote for Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner. It will show what a mockery time magazine as well as our country has become.
