NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles ) – Donald Trump has defied all logic by his continued lead in the polls for the Republican nomination for president. He also made it to the short list for this year’s ‘Person of the Year.’

But today, Trump’s winning streak in the polls abruptly ended when he lost the (s) election to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.  Merkel was named this year’s “Person of the Year’ by the editors of Time magazine. It was a big blow to Trump and his equally big ego.

Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that polls don’t really matter. Sanders won the online poll among Time readers for the ‘Person of the Year’ but didn’t make it to the short list by the magazin’s editors.
