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.

Don’t you have a candidate to support?

Sorry you have nothing better to do than to spam Trump threads :(

We could say the same thing about your candidate, but we have too many great things happening with OURS to bother.

He’s at least as conservative as the rest of the GOPe.


Well, he did partner/’deal make’ with the NRSC....and Midge McConnell. But throwing CRuz completely in with the GOPe is maybe a tiny bit premature ;-)

Man of the Century, more like it.

I think the Cruz supporters did this to make Trump look bad.

Voters chose obama because of the color - black.

Voters are choosing Trump because of the colors- red, white, and blue.

Trump's detractors are magnitudes behind in comprehending this seismic event that is sweeping across the nation.

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line.
Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

The WorldNutDaily “Man of the Year” Award? I was hoping against hope that Ted Cruz had a chance, but seeing that Don Trump has won this coveted prize, what’s the use?

Oh no! First their poll and now this. Has Trump placed his assets in a Blind Trust yet? What? Not going to do it? Oh wait. He is a businessman. That takes care of it. Businessmen don't need to do that silly thing. It's business don't you know.

I said it before, when Time gave Angela Merkel the award for some reason, and I will repeat it now: If there were any justice in these awards, these guys should a shared this one between them. A French medal for "bravery" seems hardly sufficient recognition for what they did, and the example they have hopefully set.

You're right. He was cited several months ago and I missed it. I also missed Obi-Wan Kenobi.
