ISIS Commander, Caitlyn Jenner Et Al Shortlisted For TIME Magazine’s 2015 Person Of The Year

Like every other year, TIME Magazine has released its ‘Person of the year’ list for the year 2015.
Time magazine has released a list of the eight contenders for their 2015 Person of the Year Award and once again, they included a terrorist in their list of nominees.
Those shortlisted include the following;

Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, who as leader of ISIS has inspired followers to both fight in his self-declared caliphate of Iraq and Syria, and also stage attacks in countries like Tunisia and France.
Caitlyn Jenner, whose coming out as a transgender woman prompted widespread conversations about gender identity and issues of equality for the LGBT community.

Travis Kalanick, who as CEO of Uber drove his car-hailing company to a nearly $70 billion valuation, but also drew criticism about the downside of the sharing economy.

Angela Merkel, who as German chancellor has been at the center of major news events this year, from economic strife in the Eurozone to Europe’s ongoing migrant crisis.

Vladimir Putin, who as president of Russia has defied Western sanctions over his country’s military activity in Ukraine to play a critical but precarious role in the war on ISIS.

Hassan Rouhani, who as president of Iran is seeking to bring his country out of pariah status and repair its sanctions-crippled economy by pursuing a nuclear deal with the West.

Donald Trump, whose populist rhetoric has made him frontrunner in the race for the Republican presidential candidacy and stirred debate about the party’s future.

In the announcement of the shortlist, Time said Trump’s “populist rhetoric has made him frontrunner in the race for the Republican presidential candidacy and stirred debate about the party’s future.” Trump leads the GOP field — largely consisting of career politicians — with 30.3 percent, according to the RealClearPolitics average of national polls.
