Mark Cuban May Run Against Donald Trump In 2020 As A Republican

[polychronopolous]

Mark Cuban is “seriously considering” seeking the presidency in 2020, and if he runs, he could challenge Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.

In an interview with Fox News that aired on Sunday, the billionaire investor, TV personality and owner of the Dallas Mavericks called himself “fiercely independent.” But when pressed to pick a party for his potential candidacy, he said “probably Republican.”

“How come?” asked host Harvey Levin.

“I think there’s a place for somebody who is socially a centrist, but I’m very fiscally conservative,” Cuban replied.

Cuban also said he hadn’t made up his mind yet about running.

“I wouldn’t run unless I have solutions,” he said. “If I have solutions, then I have something to offer. If I don’t, you won’t see me anywhere near being a politician.”

When Cuban backed Hillary Clinton in 2016, his name was bandied about as a possible vice presidential pick. He has publicly toyed with the idea of running since Trump was elected.

“It is something I’m seriously considering,” Cuban told the Venture Atlanta business conference in Georgia earlier this month, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. At the time, he said he was considering running as an independent.

When asked by Levin to rate his probability of running on a scale of 1 to 10, Cuban said that he was at a “4” right now. But after speaking with Cuban, Levin believes those odds are much higher. 

“My sense is there is an extremely good chance Mark Cuban is going to run for president of the United States,” Levin told Fox News last week.

can you clearly define what a true Republican is so we can all agree

or even just specify what you think a Republican is so we know where you stand

I watched him in an interview the other day.  Not impressed at all.  He was slow.  Doesn't have much charisma.  Had trouble stating coherent ideas.  I can't imagine he would have a snowball's chance. 

But maybe I just caught him on a bad day?

I would say that you did. Great on Shark Tank and other interviews I've heard with him. Not sure on his stances but I suspect very liberal socially. Economically appears to be more capitalist/conservative but that's only from hearing/watching him on Shark Tank. Not sure how coherent he is on issues beside market type questions, though.

I suspect he would react to the attacks in much the same way Trump does running as a Republican. Would be interesting to see if he would get attacked as much or the media would rally around him to defeat Trump.

Very lackluster and unimpressive interview with Tucker.

He would be fish food rather than shark tank going up against Trump in a primary.

As a life long Dallas Mavericks fan I am a huge Cubes fan and very grateful for his ability to turn around the franchise.

And he does alot of good stuff in the community and is very well liked.

But for him to be able to stand up to Trump and primary him out of the White House?? Please.
