In the age of a billionaire president with no real political experience, Mark Cuban, another billionaire with no real political experience, is being asked quite a bit about a prospective presidential bid.
And he's not ruling it out. During an interview on the Fox News show Objectified (airing Sunday), the Shark Tank personality and owner of the Dallas Mavericks said he's qualified to be commander in chief.
“I think we’re going into a time where you need somebody who can connect to people and relate to people, and I think I qualify on each of those," Cuban told host Harvey Levin. He sidestepped the question of whether he'll actually run for president: "Whether or not I’ll do it—it’s a big decision."
The more noncommittal he got, the more he sounded like a politician:
I wouldn’t run unless I have solutions. If I have solutions, then I have something to offer. If I don’t, you won’t see me anywhere near being a politician.
Though not a liberal, Cuban, 59, has been critical of President Donald Trump, and in 2015, he mused that he "could beat both Trump and Clinton" in the 2016 election. With his vast fortune and reality TV background, he has plenty of things in common with the 45th president, which would make for a bizarre 2020 showdown. (He has suggested he could run as an independent instead of a Democrat.)
It's not the first time he's teased a presidential bid. Earlier this month, Cuban said he was "seriously considering" a run for president, and that he would "definitely be running" if he were single.

“I have an gigantic ego and endless money! Hey! I can be President, too!”
Uh, huh. Well, the only party that would have him is the Fascist Lunatic — um, I mean Democratic party, and there’s about 0.01% chance they’d pick anyone next time other than a black, female (or transgender) communist moonbat.
I got a bridge....

Mark Cuban - America’s first Jewish President? Considering that he could not be elected dog catcher, I predict that America will not be seeing Mark Cuban be the first one.
So that explains Yahoo. Makes sense, now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban
from link:
Cuban’s first step into the business world occurred at age 12, when he sold garbage bags to pay for a pair of expensive basketball shoes.[7][17] At age 16, Cuban took advantage of a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette strike by running newspapers from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.[18]
Instead of attending high school for his senior year, he enrolled as a full-time student at the University of Pittsburgh where he joined the Pi Lambda Phi International fraternity. While attending the University of Pittsburgh, he held a variety of jobs including a bartender, disco dancing instructor, and a party promoter.”
Mark Cuban would be a lot better than the usual ‘all talk and no action’ types dems usually run. Too bad he’s a liberal...
the democratic party has no bench for the next election...
it will be businessmen like mark Cuban and Mark zukenburg who the democrats put forward to run against President Trump.
Can’t!!!
He’s CUBAN!!!!
Any natural born citizen over 35 is “qualified”. Go ahead and run, Mark. Nobody is stopping you.
I have seen clips of him on his show and various interviews. For being a billionare etc etc,he comes off semi-tard concerning governance. I do believe President Trump is a true exception. Most other billionaires are complete socialist morons.
No....They’ll find a pretty boy...
LOL
Good point...
He thinks he’s better than Trump.
No sale.
Ahhhhhhh NO! Petulant punk.....
Because he’s at least 35.
A Clinton cigar - check.
An Obama basketball - check.
He may not be as “qualified” as Soetoro as both sets of grandparents were immigrants. He doesn’t say if his parents were born here or immigrated with the grandparents.
"House of Cards" had a solution for that.
He is one of very few.
Before I knew who he was, quit watching Shark Tank just because he is so snarky and full of himself.
