1. I don't think he fits the idea of person.

[TwilightZone]

3. lol

That literally made me laugh.

He's disqualified because he doesn't meet the basic standards. Love it.

[Silent3]

5. +1000 n/t

[livetohike]

11. Good one lonestarnot!

[sagetea]

14. LOl, Lone star not!!!

You crack me up! your witty true comment!!! If only he were a person, then we would have something to work with!

sage

[uponit7771]

22. +1

[Cha]

25. Right.. he didn't make it in the person category.

If Time had a Monster of the year he'd be a shoo in.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Surprising....nt

[LonePirate]

4. I don't think the poll mandates Time's eventual choice.

The actual cover person will likely be the new Racist-in-Chief but Putin, Comey, WWC Americans or social media had much of an impact this year than he did.

[world wide wally]

6. It should be the puppet master, Putin... Not the puppet.

[rurallib]

10. my first thought also

[Quackers]

23. Or

A picture of Putin holding the puppet strings over the whitehouse.

[SaschaHM]

7. What?

Modi? How? I'm calling shenanigins on this one. It just doesn't seem like he made a big enough splash to be the person of the year. I watch the news religiously and if I had to count the amount of times Modi appeared or was mentioned, I would struggle to find one.

[Grey Lemercier]

15. It was a poll, not the real thing. Orange Hitler will win, although

I agree with others it should be the puppet master Putin, not his shitgibbon puppet.

[SaschaHM]

16. I get that it was a poll, but...

still Modi winning the poll is odd to me. It's a bit of an obscure win for someone who hasn't been in the U.S. news all year. The Ferguson protestors came in second at 8.8% to Modi's 11%.

[Grey Lemercier]

19. 1.34 Billion people in India, all it would take is a rampant FB or other national campaign

That's what I am guessing. Tulsi Gabbard must be happy.

[IronLionZion]

28. There's an entire world outside the US

International events often get less news coverage in domestic media for obvious reasons

and there are many significant newsworthy events that don't make the headlines for various reasons. News appearances is not the main measure of influence in this world.

Our president-elect gets plenty of news coverage for nonsense whilst constantly attacking the media for bias.

8. I can see it now:

[Cha]

26. Did you photoshop that?

Clever!

[Initech]

30. No it's from the Fake Trump Tweet Generator

31. Same kinda thing.. oh dear

how are we suppose to tell the difference. lol

Not that matters a whole hellava lot.

[still_one]

9. smart, most people have no idea who he is, and therefore will not cause a

controversial outcry like it did when they were considering bin laden for that title, but they cowered and choose giuliani instead.

Actually, bin laden should have been chosen, because he changed the world as we know it.

Someone suggested Comey for this year, and I think that would have been a perfect choice

[erpowers]

12. They Will Give It To Him; They Have To Name Him

Time magazine will most likely name Donald Trump the person of the year. I do not think he deserves to be person of the year, but I think he will get it. I think they have to name him because if they do not they will get a large amount of criticism from Republicans. I think the American people, the Rust Belt people, or Kellyanne Conway should be named person of the year. It was the

[BumRushDaShow]

13. They'll pick him

Just because of the audacity that he won.

[TygrBright]

17. I think you have to be a member of the human species to qualify. n/t

[IronLionZion]

18. Modi is worse than Trump

right wingers in the US cheered when he won, just like they cheered Brexit. Racial/religious violence has been happening in India already. We'll see it in the US too as Trump's supporters feel empowered and liberated to make America great again.

Maybe Trump will get it next year when he builds the wall

[malaise]

24. +1,000

Modi is the Indian Groper Don the Con

[Vinca]

20. He still has a chance to make Mad Magazine. LOL.

[JudyM]

21. More than anything, I am so grateful tRump didn't win that.

Don't want him to get any major signs of adulation.

[putitinD]

27. They did feature Hitler one year

[OhZone]

29. They should chose Hitler again. nt
