Trump actually belongs on that list the same way Hitler would have in his time, for same reason randys1 Dec 2015 #2

didn't Hillary get any warrior votes? wendylaroux Dec 2015 #5

Hillary only got 1.4%, behind even Donald Trump 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #32

Time/Warner would rather honor a Fascist or a Terrorist, than a Socialist running against HRC 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #6

If they were in the tank for Hillary Cali_Democrat Dec 2015 #9

No, because she hardly got ANY votes from the public 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #13

So they discretely pulled Hillary from the short list Cali_Democrat Dec 2015 #23

Hillary only got 1.4% of the popular poll for Time cover. Embarrassing to say the least 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #31

So what does that have to do with Bernie not being named a finalist by Time Cali_Democrat Dec 2015 #36

I've already told you 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #49

Really? msrizzo Dec 2015 #52

Sadly you may actually believe this mythology Dec 2015 #24

FYI: Bernie 10%, Hillary 1.4%, Trump 1.8% 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #34

By historical standards, Bernie's 10 percent is actually pretty low onenote Dec 2015 #60

This year Bernie was the TOP contender at 10%. 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #63

But in terms of suggesting that his 10 percent should have caused the editors' to include onenote Dec 2015 #64

A case can certainly be made 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #69

Only in your imagination onenote Dec 2015 #80

So you disagree. Fine. 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #81

what's funny is that you seem to think that voters in Time's poll are the magazine's readers onenote Dec 2015 #87

Glad you are amused .. 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #89

Hard not to be snarky when someone digs in against reality and facts as much as you have. onenote Dec 2015 #90

I find it more than a little odd, that you claim to "support Bernie" 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #92

I go out of my way to point out when posters ignore facts and history. onenote Dec 2015 #94

You've made you point 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #97

Thank you for that news, onenote. "16% for Miley Cyrus".. wow, readers sure like to pump up Cha Dec 2015 #76

Online polls are not reality Renew Deal Dec 2015 #67

If Time's readers preference poll is irrelevant 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #70

people who read Time might care about more than politics, specifically the Democratic primary race. Raine1967 Dec 2015 #72

I doubt there's much correlation between Time Magazine's readership and voters in its online poll onenote Dec 2015 #82

Compare this year to previous years onenote Dec 2015 #27

The dynamic seems simple enough. bvar22 Dec 2015 #46

The poll has never been the deciding factor for the editorial board. tammywammy Dec 2015 #47

exactly right. it's no secret that the readers' poll is a "fun" poll with no impact on the editors onenote Dec 2015 #56

So how many votes from the public did Al-Baghdadi get? msrizzo Dec 2015 #51

This makes no sense. Raine1967 Dec 2015 #65

+1 n/t Triana Dec 2015 #19

Being named POTY isn't supposed to be an "honor" onenote Dec 2015 #20

If they are in the tank for Hillary, why won't they award her? Zequest Dec 2015 #25

time person of the year is not an honor. It's newsmaker JI7 Dec 2015 #59
