1. And the issues that scare Mark Cuban are the very ones

that Trump supporters find endearing. They don't appear to notice or to mind that level of ignorance about matters that involve national security.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. They like him because he's dumb as them

[tblue37]

2. K&R. nt

[Divine Discontent]

3. Excellent and thoughtful reasoning

If all did that, dumdum wouldn't have became the nominee. Now, pour about 25 million into Ohio and Florida ads, Mr Cuban.

[mgardener]

4. He has "people"

For those pesky details like running the country!

[Ilsa]

6. Yes, he has unelected people and

we don't know who they are and if they are as crazy as trump.

[world wide wally]

13. Name one of his surrogates that isn't whacko,

Not to mention small minded and bigoted

[Ilsa]

19. No normal person would willingly work for him.

Either financial or emotional distress would be threatened, I bet.

[PJMcK]

5. There's something odd about Mark Cuban's attacks on Donald Trump

Whenever anyone makes a negative public statement about Donald Trump, it's almost inevitable that he responds, usually on Twitter, with a counterattack. Yet with Mark Cuban, Mr. Trump has been strangely silent. What's up with that? Does Mr. Cuban have some dirt on Mr. Trump that forces him to remain silent?

Mr. Cuban has previously said that he likes Mr. Trump but doesn't consider him to be either presidential nor as rich as he claims to be. Why has Mr. Cuban been spared the Wrath of Trump?

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Because He Has More Money?

Just a guess, but he doesn't want to get into a war with a guy who also had a TV show, who has made more money than Trump has, etc?

[PJMcK]

9. That's part of it, I think

Donald Trump knows that Mark Cuban is richer, by far, than he is. Mr. Cuban is a real billionaire whereas Mr. Trump really isn't.

But there seems to be more to it than that. For example, Mr. Trump's reaction to former Secretary of Defense William Gates statement that Mr. Trump is unsuitable for the presidency was immediate and self-serving. Why hasn't he said anything about Mr. Cuban?

It really doesn't matter but it does seem odd.

[OnDoutside]

24. Mika on MJoe hero worships Gates... will be interesting to see the dynamic now that she has crawled

back to Trump...

[NewJeffCT]

10. Trump has attacked Michael Bloomberg

and Bloomberg is wealthier than Cuban and Trump put together, and then some.

And, is the Bloomberg Channel related to Bloomberg at all? That would be an entire network, not just a single show that was way past its glory days.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Good Point

I forgot that Bloomberg had that kind of dough.

[LynneSin]

21. And if I'm correct doesn't have any bankrupcies, no ties to foreign powers and still on wife #1

Just saying

[Ilsa]

8. That's a good question.

Maybe since Cuban has been politically private, trump can't find anything on him to complain about without sounding even more juvenile than usual.

[bulloney]

20. ...Trump can't find anything on him to complain about without sounding even more juvenile than usual

When has that ever stopped him, Ilsa?

[LynneSin]

22. I think if he's running a 'Stop Trump' group, he's not very politically private

But Cuban's money is real, not fictitious like Trump's. And Cuban lives like a billionaire but not some obnoxious hoity-toity let's make everything gold-leaf in the house like something out of 1777 Versailles.

[Ilsa]

30. Mark Cuban LIVES.

He works and plays, stays current and real. I think he understands how the world works and what regular people are like.

Trump is clueless, living in that ridiculous and ugly apartment.

[world wide wally]

15. He's afraid of Mark Cuban because Cuban can also shoot from the hip and has enough money to not

have to worry about who he offends.
Cuban also has more friends

[madokie]

16. Plus

Cuban can twist his sorry ass head off and shit down his neck and he knows that.

'His' being tRump

[NewJeffCT]

18. he can probably do that for real

Cuban's a big guy and looks pretty burly. Trump is tall, but soft and chubby.

[JI7]

17. i think because Cuban actually has been successful at making money

And is what trump claims to be when it comes to business.

He might know that Cuban could hit him in a way others can't.

I'm sure he is angry though. Just too scared to say in public at this time.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

28. Shark Tank has higher ratings than Trump's show ever had....

Gee, wonder why?

On one you have rich guys helping you and the other a rich guy fires you.

[Akamai]

12. Mr. Cuban -- Great for your insights, your passion, and your refusal

to sit on the sidelines.

You will certainly be remembered by millions of Americans as someone trying to help!

[sarcasmo]

23. Cuban has not let up hammering Trump on Twitter.

[PJMcK]

25. I don't tweet

Can you post a link to Mark Cuban's feed, please. I really want to read what he's written.

Thanks, sarcasmo, in advance.

26. you can read some here.

27. That was fun

Thank you, CrispyQ!

29. Cuban's Not the Only One

A close examination of Trump reveals he is just another con artist, albeit, a skilled one. His lack of knowledge or interest in learning about the issues is more than a little horrifying. He would lay waste to our democracy in a very short period of time by starting needless wars, raiding the treasury for personal gain and that of his cronies, an autocratic crackdown on civil liberties... the list is very long.

[Skittles]

33. to someone like me, he is not skilled

there's just a lot of stupid people who buy his crap

[phallon]

31. Why has the truth become arbitrary in 2016? No really??

[Skittles]

32. I have to question the intelligence of anyone who thought Trump would evolve

seriously

[citizen blues]

34. Well-said, sir!

Couldn't have aid it better myself. As a Bernie supporter, I'm voting HRC for exactly these reasons! A
