Bovada has odds out now for Person of the Year in 2016...I personally think Trump is a favorite to win regardless of whether or not he wins in November.

What do you all think?

Hillary Clinton -250
Donald Trump +300
Migrants +1500
Soldiers +1500
Bashar al-Assad +2500
Pope Francis +2800
Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi +2800
Angela Merkel +3000
Barack Obama +3300
Christine Lagarde +3300
Janet Yellen +3300
Marine Le Pen +3300
Benjamin Netanyahu +4000
Jean-Claude Juncker +4000
Narendra Modi +4000
Justin Trudeau +5000
Kim Jong Un +6600
David Cameron +10000
Ted Cruz +10000
Marco Rubio +10000
Caitlyn Jenner +15000

You think they'd give it to Pope Francis twice in 4 years? He won it in 2013.

As a group symbolic of the catastrophe that is slowly descending upon Europe and other regions of the world.

It should be Trump or angry dumb white men as a group.

So I just gave serious thought to this and Elon Musk could be a good bet, if he was on the list.

Big Action on Caitlyn Jenner. She's down from 150-1 to 66-1.

Lol @ Bernie not listed but Cruz and Rubio are.

I feel like if Hillary wins the election it's gotta be her given that she'd be America's first woman President.

It seems like giving it to a candidate in an upcoming election would be in bad taste.

Does time have a history of making political statements?

Why is this a discussion now? Don't they give these awards out right at the end of the year?

But yeah smart money is whoever wins the election is chosen as this has been true every single presidential election since 2000. So 74% Hillary, 25% Hair Trump. 1% something crazy happens in the next six months that can't be predicted, like someone cures cancer.

I guess its almost halfway through the year; enough of a sample size to speculate and set odds but enough time for something to change things...

Odds posted for David Cameron, Lil Marco, and Lyin Ted, but nothing for Sanders... You'd think they'd want to cash in on his exuberant following. I like Obama's odds given his farewell tour.
