What about me?
I already know the job!

lol, I would make a snide remark about another person running, but don’t want to get zotted.
How did he earn his first million?
Basically, I picked up that he was a con man. He was fired from his first job but turned that to his advantage.
If this is true from his Wiki page, he made billions off Yahoo being a bunch of idiots before the dot.com bust .........
“By 1999, Broadcast.com had grown to 330 employees and $13.5 million in revenue for the second quarter.[28] In 1999, Broadcast.com helped launch the first live-streamed Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.[29] That year, during the dot com boom, Broadcast.com was acquired by Yahoo! for $5.7 billion in Yahoo! stock.”

Only during the dot.com bust would you have heard of $52 million companies selling for $5.7 billion.
He had a partner with Broadcast.com. So if Cuban took about $3 billion from that sale, it should be worth a lot more now, right? He’s still worth a little less than $3 billion.
He hit the lottery but has done little else since.
The Mavs have never cut a profit since he bought them. Ross Perot, Jr. was upset enough about that to file a law suit against him.
He’s on a weekly TV show. I think he could help Trump as VP.
May not be the first to say it but... “Dude, Check your Meds! ASAP”
PLUS, he is TORN about who he would vote for, but he says he would pick Hillary at the moment because "Hillary is the DEVIL YOU KNOW", while Donald is the devil you don't know.

I think he’s a great con man. Again, he was worth $3 billion after yahoo went idiotic in 1999 and he’s still worth about the same.
In other words, he never “earned” his first million.
Yep, Cuban founded Broadcast.com, then sold it to yahoo...for $5.7 billions.
Broadcast.com actually originated from Cuban's desire to listen to broadcasts of his alma mater's basketball games (Indiana U.). He developed an app that allowed him to listen in over the internet via his computer -- i.e., streaming.
The first thing he did upon cashing in was buy the Dallas Mavericks, whereupon he lost interest in everything else.
He's a moonbat lib, investing in movies like Redacted -- which portrayed American soldiers in Iraq as brutish thugs.
Whyever Mitt Romney and William Kristol would try to recruit Cuban to run on the Republican ticket is one more indication of their cluelessness.
Ok, I take that back.
In other words, he never “earned” his first million.

I never said that.
I am not sure why he was fired from his first job but it sounds like he wasn’t operating in his employer’s best interest.
He hit the lotto when Yahoo felt the need to blow a lot of money before the dot.com bust.
As an investor, I am not overly impressed with what he’s done since his lotto winnings. He’s not great investor or anything like that. I will give him credit for not losing it all.
Trump should ask that Zen Master guy from the Lakers.
From my understanding, Cuban is seeking to be Crooked Hillary’s running mate. Liberal activist, apparently. I think he is going to be on Meet the Press later this morning or one of the other shows. In any case, I doubt he will be much of an influence at least in Texas. Should stick to basketball, Mavericks.
Phil Jackson?
Send Cuban back to Cuba!
Offering himself to both parties as a VP? That’s an impressive piece of prostitution.
Mark Cuban is a ho and shameless publicity hound. He is not serious about being Hillary’s VP. He rather be making money. He has had a rivalry going on with The Donald for quite a while. Trump put him down something fierce.
Cuban has always been a leftist. In other words, a Class A HYPOCRITE.
