Oddsmakers give Mark Cuban, Kanye West same chances to win presidency in 2020

[TexasTowelie]

Much was made about Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's political future during this past presidential election. The eccentric Cuban remained open to being vice president for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, then was a vocal critic of Trump after endorsing Clinton.

And though Cuban has ruled out a possible presidential run of his own in 2020, that has not stopped oddsmakers from Bovada.lv from setting odds on Cuban's presidential chances for the next election.

Bovada taps Cuban's odds at 100-1. That's a fair lower than actual politicians like Trump (2-1), Vice President-elect Mike Pence (10-1) and First Lady Michelle Obama (12-1).

Cuban has a lot of company at 100-1, for better or worse. Self-proclaimed genius Kanye West is also at 100-1, as are movie stars George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady also finds himself at 100-1. Not sure about the political credentials of this group, but it sure would be a good bunch to go out on the town with.

1. How about the Kardashians?

Myself, I'd go for Ed McMann, if he were still around. Or maybe Groucho!! He'd at least be fun.

Groucho: Do you have any children?
Contestant: Yes, I have seven.
Groucho: That's a lot of children.
Contestant: Well, I really love my wife.
Groucho: I love my cigar, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.

(A rough synopsis from You Bet Your Life which starred Groucho Marx.)

2. It would be interesting to see if Groucho had better odds than all of those mentioned

since he is dead. Maybe Generalissimo Franco has a chance too?

If you like the Kardashians then you vote for Kanye so that you get the entire Kardashian family. Scott Disick (Coutney's on-again, off-again boyfriend) reminds me a lot of Donald Trump Jr. as far as the looks and sense of entitlement are concerned.

4. Is Generalissimo Francisco Franco still dead????

Wow! Just fucking wow!




BTW, I only know of the Kardashians. Never seen them.

3. oddsmakers don't have any fucking clue what will be happening in 4 years.

What sort of odds would they have given in 2003 that a guy no one had heard of named "Barack Hussein Obama" would be President for 8 years?
