Cuban is a private citizen that has no personal connection to Hillary other than being a strong supporter and critic of Trump. Flowers on the other hand has no known political alliance to Trump and only claim to fame is having an extramarital affair with Hillary's husband so many years ago. Is this the best the Trump campaign can do? Trump can't find even one "current" player to put in the front row?
Not going to second guess HRC campaign or Cuban on this as I do believe their decisions and announcement are sound. I think Flowers was a lame response by the Trump Campaign and I think she can only amplify attention to Trump' s own infidelities.

Ms. Flowers, unless she has been slaving away at Trump's campaign somewhere, is a publicity stunt.

Cuban seems to have inherited his business acumen from his grandfather, Morris Chobanisky, who immigrated to Ellis Island from Russia. He sold food products out of the back of his truck. "Mark, like my dad, did anything to make a buck," Norton Cuban says.
Though Norton worked nearly 50 years in a car-upholstery shop, his straight-talking, blue-collar work ethic rubbed off on Mark. "He's always been a rebel," Norton says.

(3,580 posts)Roger Stone has been threatening this for weeks, before she invited Cuban. Trump hates Cuban. He's not going to be able to stop himself, I think there's a good chance during the debate he starts attacking cuban with a totally irrelevant tirade, like he does on twitter. Hillary meanwhile has the discipline to avoid trump provoking her with flowers.

(3,469 posts)Trump thought, " you invite someone who screwed my wife? I'll invite someone who screwed your husband." That's the only way it makes any sense.
