Will the President-elect win Time Person of the Year in 2016?

[Panhandle Progressive]

Incoming presidents usually win this award:

76 Carter
80 Reagan
92 Clinton
00 W. Bush
08 Obama

Only H.W. Bush didn't in 88.

No. He'd be the 1st president since the civil war that would make tons of people actually want to leave the U.S. and go through with doing so.

No. He'd be the 1st president since the civil war that would make tons of people actually want to leave the U.S. and go through with doing so.

Which would make him more likely to be person of the year. It's not supposed to be an award.

Yeah, the likes of Hitler and Stalin won the 'award'.

[Asian Nazi]

Yeah, if it's Clinton, being the first woman president will be enough to win.  If it's a Republican, the symbolic transition of power (see all of the people listed above) will serve the same purpose.

[Lincoln Republican]

Of course.  Without a doubt.

It's either going to be the first female President, the first Latino President, or the most polarizing Presidential candidate in well over a hundred years, so I can't imagine they won't get it.
