Putting 2015 to Bed #smh: Another WTF Moment

Gallup released the results of its Most Admired Woman and Man Poll.   We always celebrate when Hillary Clinton comes out on top in these polls as she has here for an historical 20th time.  Brava, Hillary!

But on the other hand (there had to be another hand), on the men's side, it started out well with President Obama on top and Pope Francis second, until you see that Donald Trump tied the pope.  Really?  The guy who insults immigrants (except the ones he has been married to), slams Mexicans, wants to ban all Muslims from entering the country, views women as disgusting ... I could go on ... that guy?  He tied the pope?



Clinton Most Admired Woman for Record 20th Time

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Americans again name Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama the woman and man living anywhere in the world they admire most. Both win by wide margins over the next-closest finishers, Malala Yousafzai for women and Pope Francis and Donald Trump for men.

It's great that Hillary is viewed so positively despite the misogynist attacks from Trump.  How did he do so well with the same participants on the other side, though?  Can there be any further #WTFMoments in this year?

Seriously?
