Billionaire Mark Cuban Says Billionaire Bloomberg Should Run for President Against Billionaire Trump
cnbc ^ | 2-16-2016 | Dawn Chmielewski

Billionaire reality TV star Mark Cuban played the president in "Sharknado 3," which naturally qualifies him to handicap the 2016 presidential field -- and encourage fellow billionaire Michael Bloomberg to enter the race for the White House.

...

In an interview with WABC Radio, Cuban said he would like to see a Bloomberg candidacy -- describing the former mayor of New York City as progressive on social issues, such as gun control, yet fiscally conservative.

...

This isn't the first time Cuban has encouraged a Bloomberg candidacy. As he surveyed the 2008 Republican and Democratic contenders, he called on a wealthy candidate to enter the contest -- someone who would know how to deliver on campaign promises.

"Are you listening, Mayor Bloomberg? For less than the cost of opening a tent-pole movie, you can change the status quo," Cuban wrote on his Blog Maverick weblog.

Au contraire, my dear @GoldenPup.

We already have Cruz and Rubio -- rather, let us say, not another Cuban opposing Trump.

I have watched the Shark Tank a few times, but I now just remote past because, for some reason, it rankles me.

I am not impressed, or I should say Cuban doesn't impress me.

but that is just me.

Michael Bloomberg is a leftwinger.
If he entered the race...it would not pull any votes at all from Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
It would only hurt Hillary C., Bernie S., Elizabeth W., or Joe B.

Mark should stick to playing whiffle ball in his over-sized dining room

That’s why I’m hoping Bloomberg jumps in. Hillary will self-destruct allowing Lieden in. My last wish would be for the crazy commie to go independent. The leftists would C&B.

As an Ind? Hey, why not? It’s already a freak show. The more the merrier. ...especially if they siphon ‘Rat votes, like Herr Bloomberg would. Cuban may as well jump in as well. And Bolshevik Bernie (as an Ind.) too, after the criminal bitch Hillary steals the nom from him.

He'd take more votes from Hillary than anyone on the GOP side.

Although it would be amusing to have three candidates "from New York" running.
