Time's POTY won't be Sanders, Clinton, or Trump. It will be ISIS.

At least that's my prediction. In fact, I don't see how it could be otherwise unless Time chickens out because they know they'll be lambasted for "glorifying" and "rewarding" ISIS. But the POTY is not the "good person of the year" it's the person or group that "for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year". And that's ISIS, hands down.

If Time does chicken out, my prediction is that they go with the "candidates for president" as a group -- Trump, Carson, Cruz, Sanders, Clinton, O'Malley -- the whole kit and kaboodle. They aren't picking one candidate over all the others.
