Mark Cuban: I’m ‘Considering’ Running for President

Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban said he is "considering" running for president of the United States in a new podcast posted on Tuesday.

In an interview on former Democratic South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers' podcast ViewPoint, Cuban said he is an "independent all the way through" who tries to remain informed and objective on issues.

Sellers noted that Cuban supported Hillary Clinton during her campaign against President Donald Trump in 2016 and asked if he would help Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.

Cuban said he would "probably not" be on the trail during the midterms.

"Mark, are you considering running for president of the United States?" Sellers asked.

"Yes. Considering, yes," Cuban said. "Ready to commit to it, no."

Cuban said he would approach the question of running differently than others, saying if he felt he could come up with solutions on issues like tax reform that people could get behind, it would make "perfect sense" to run.

"If it comes down to, ‘Do I think I can win because I can convince more people to vote for me?' Then no, I won't run," Cuban said.

.@mcuban tells me he is "seriously considering" running for POTUS. New pod out now! https://t.co/ckOMQXoFHZ

Cuban remarked in 2015 that he could beat both Trump and Clinton if he decided to run in 2016, although he stayed out of the race.

Cuban owns the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and also serves as one of the rotating "shark" investors on the hit show "Shark Tank."

Cuban has a bloated massive ego and is by far the biggest, rudest @ss on “Shark Tank.” He tried to copy DJT’s “The Apprentice” with his rip-off reality show and his copycat show was a spectacular failure. Ever since, petty loser Cuban has been insanely jealous of Trump.

I can’t imagine the left voting in mass, during the primaries, for a billionaire capitalist.

With the surname “Cuban” I just assumed his heritage was Cuban. Turns out his father’s side of the family were Russian Jews who changed the family name from Chabenisky to Cuban. His mother’s side of the family were Romanian Jews.

Look for a lot of "me too" billionaires jumping into the presidential fray. The logic will be that if Trump can be president, why not I?

I think they will be in for a big surprise when they learn just how grueling and demanding the process can be. Trump was a special case. He is one tough cookie who not only put up with an enormous amount of opposition and abuse towards him but he was able to think quickly on his feet and take risks that very few traditional candidates would take.

He thinks Trump won because he’s a billionaire.

Exactly. It’s like saying “ I am considering running for emperor of the universe”. Magic word is “considering”.

Another attention anti Trump whore like the Rock.

"If it comes down to, ‘Do I think I can win because I can convince more people to vote for me?' Then no, I won't run," Cuban said.

The answer to that question better be a Yes or one should not even consider running for President. If you don't believe in your ability to get the most votes and win than don't run. There is nothing wrong about winning, Mark.

I’ve seen and heard Mark Cuban, and he is no Donald Trump.
