(12 posts)Giuliani was one of the most impactful people of the year (some might have argued for bin Ladin, I would imagine). The criteria is simple...who made the biggest impact.
In 2001, there were few who impacted more than Giuliani.
And that's why this time it will *definitely* go to Trump. For better or worse (mostly worse as far as *I'm* concerned!) he has impacted the world more than any other in 2016. And I think I'd be saying that EVEN if Clinton had won (he changed the way elections will be handled for generations, for one thing).

(50,986 posts)The fundies are always asserting that Satan is behind nearly everything.
Why not flash a Person of the Year TIME cover with Satan? That issue would fly off the shelves.

It would certainly piss off everyone on the Right if Pussy Riot were selected. Also I think it would be entertaining for a TIME magazine cover with 'PUSSY RIOT' on it.

A case could also be made for Putin.
