New York In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, while many people were learning how to bake sourdough or plant a garden, Mark Cuban was considering a run for president. He even hired a pollster.

The billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner has criticized President Donald Trump and discussed harboring presidential ambitions for years. But several weeks ago, Cuban hired someone to gauge his chances in the 2020 race, he told David Axelrod on The Axe Files podcast Thursday."My family voted it down," Cuban said of a presidential bid."Otherwise I would have.

Don’t care

He should instead consider Lobby ALL of His Wealthy buddies to Speak Up.......oh wait......they are the reason We Are Here Today. The American Dream is not for Freedom and Liberty but truly for The Lifelong Pursuit of Selfish Materialistic Greed. WeArentNo1 ExceptInDeath

Cuban Wang 2024. I’ll vote that. TrumpLandslide2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

He would have been better than Biden and Trump that’s for sure.

Thanks but no thanks

I like Mark but we need someone with political experience

Most of us would’ve voted it down

Bummer!!

mcuban prepare for the future maybe

All he does is says he's going to do shit and never does. So far in Pittsburgh he's claimed to want to buy 2 sports teams and The Original Hot Dog Shop. He's all bluster. Maybe we are better off electing presidents with prior political experience instead

2028? mcuban

Moron ruined the Mavericks organization and is hated throughout the NBA.. NO

Whew! Lol

Nice work MarkCuban putting Country over self

mcuban Cuban would make a good Texas Senator. We could use a good make in the US Senate. Ted Cruz & John Cornyn suck.

And thank god he didn’t. He’s a joke.

He’s a joke and an attention hog. He knows he has no chance against Trump2020LandslideVictory

mcuban your family will forgive you!

Much better than ineffective demented Biden.

He would have had my vote.

This guy thinks he's a god, but at least he's rational enough to take objective information seriously, which showed that few voters wanted his oligarchic ass in the Oval Office. This dingleberry thought we needed ANOTHER reality show host? Take a seat, Mark.

Buy a Ferrari

Learn how to plant a garden? It’s super easy. Bloomberg told us, you just drop a seed in the ground, cover it with dirt, water it, and up comes the crop 🤣🤣

damn, even his family won't vote for him?

No, thank you. Keep it moving🙄

Like walking into the bathroom after RepSwalwell shat. Do better

Uh...no.

Dammm I would of voted for him!! markcuban dallasmavs

mcuban is a stand up guy. If he was heavily considering it, that means he has something to offer. But I am glad we don’t have to see him get dragged through that process. To good of a guy to watch go through that.

He's smart guy but not as much as President Trump

The last billionaire businessman didn't work out so well.

Who are you voting for in the 2020Election

Good. The last thing we need is another billionaire president.

Fucking please save our country mcuban

This is our president being presidential. He is not a racist. He is a leader.

REPARATIONS NOW!!

I dig Cuban but not for president!!!!

'Otherwise I would have.' That's how seriously he took it. Because that's what this country needs. A guy with an ego on a whim.

And he would have lost, try in ‘24

Clearly your family is smarter than you Mark.

Family being USA.

peteszone

I like Cuban, I really do. But he's not the guy. Not even close. But when Trump gets re-elected he should absolutely offer Cuban a role.

He should.

I would vote for Cuban over Biden or Trump in a heartbeat

Translation: All signs point to 'America doesn't like you'.

Do it Mark

He is a fraud.

He's full of it. He said the same thing 4 years ago

marks good for shark tank. trump would have embarrassed him.

damn, even his family wouldn't vote for him.

No. More. Pretend. Presidents. None.
