Clinton secures Mark Cuban's endorsement in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 30 - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton toured the U.S. Rust Belt on Saturday, promising to reject bad international trade deals during a factory visit and securing the endorsement of investor Mark Cuban at a Pittsburgh rally.

The Dallas Mavericks owner, who said as recently as last month that there was a "good chance" he would vote for Donald Trump, instead criticized the Republican nominee's leadership in front of an energetic crowd.

"Leadership is not yelling and screaming and intimidating," Cuban said.

You know what we call a person like that in Pittsburgh? A jagoff!" Cuban added, using disparaging Pittsburgh slang.

Cuban had spoken with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta several times in recent weeks and called him on Thursday to say he was ready to endorse Clinton, a campaign aide said.

I watched that show once or twice. My impression was the sharks were a puffed up bunch of pricks.

That was my impression every time.

Wife ad I finally had to agree we had very different tastes in good viewing material.

So she watches inside and I only use the laptop to watch what I want, but several time a week we watch a move we agree on together :)

For I would rather be drawn and quartered than watch Survivor, DWTS, America’s Got Talent, the bachelor, the housewives of....etc. one more time.

i don't know what happened with Cuban but he is insane to be endorsing Hillary. Cuban is a limp flip-flopper, but a while ago he had a better outlook on Trump:

I don’t watch any of the programs you mentioned. I have my own reality and watching someone else’s reality doesn’t affect mine one way or the other. It might be different if they offered some entertainment or escape, but to me they are largely vacuous pap.

Agreed 100 percent.

I’d rather chew glass.

It’s not a male targeted genre, and they are making a bundle with all the women that watch it, God help us.

I know some women folk who watch some of those shows, but I don’t know a single man who watches any of them. I supposed there must be some, but I don’t know who.

Definite sharp gender divide on some of these cultural interests....

Does he use that term to describe the Sink Emperor?

Yes. Cuban is an arrogant sob who occasionally makes a salient point and has picked a winner or two in investing and made a fortune. I don’t think he’s ever built anything. Shark Tank is a me too version of Apprentice.

Real name Mark Chabenisky. Name was changed by his grandfather who I believe was a Russian Jew. Many of the communists who came to this country during the ‘20s were, ironically, Russian or Eastern European Jews. Some had an epiphany and became staunch conservatives. (see David Horowitz)

No Mark Cuban, Donald Trump isn't a jag-off. Jag-offs lie. Trump tells the truth

Jag-offs break their word, when they say they will do something, they do it.

John Kasich is a jag-off.

Jag-offs are jealous of other's success. You are jealous of Trump's success.

Jag-offs don't sell their loyalty. You sold your endorsement to the criminal Clintons.

Mark Cuban, you are a jag-off.

“Cuban originally from the Burgh, I believe.”

Yes, though you’d never know it until it suits him now and then. He’s left town and done little to nothing for the citizens, workers or sports teams in his “hometown”. That’s fine, but don’t pretend that you are still a hometown boy. He even stole the “jagoff” line from a local Democrat mayor.

It seems Gary Johnson would be more up Cuban’s alley...

Mark Cuban financed a anti-American movie about the war.
