Beating Trump, Clinton, the Pope, and Adele... Sanders Leads All for TIME 'Person of the Year'
Though the announcement of TIME magazine's 'Person of the Year' designation isn't until next month, it was reported on Monday that the leading contenderat least among the magazine's readershipis Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the Democratic presidential candidate calling for a 'political revolution' with his grassroots-driven campaign against establishment candidate Hillary Clinton.

(42,581 posts)They've been doing a readers' poll for nearly 20 years. I don't think the winner of the readers' poll has ever been named POTY by Time. For example, in 2010, Julian Assange won the readers' poll, but Mark Zuckerberg was named POTY. In 2012, Kim Jun Il won (allegedly after a Korean group hacked the poll) while Time picked Barack Obama. And in 2006, Hugo Chavez won the readers' poll, while the magazine chose "You" as the POTY.
Most embarrassingly for Time, in 1998, wrestler Mick Foley won the readers' poll; the magazine's choices were Bill Clinton and Kenneth Starr.

She trails American Pharoah!!!
Hillary is trailing a race horse?!?
It doesn't look very promising for Hillary!
Bernie's closest competition is
nearly 8 points behind...
the BIGGEST margin between
any of the nominees!!!
The remaining nominees are all within
one point of one another!
Go Bernie!
We Will Win!!!
