"SNIP.........

Mark Cuban has discussed the possibility of running for president in 2020 with Steve Bannon over the past few months, the Daily Beast reports.

Axios: “Bannon wants to break down the entrenched political system, so he might view Cuban — with his mix of social liberalism and Ayn Rand devotion — as someone he could work with on the left. And while it might seem odd that Bannon would seemingly work against Trump, don’t forget that he told Vanity Fair last month that he only gives his boss a 30% chance of lasting a full term.”

1. Just lost respect for Cuban.

2. Always knew I didn't trust the whole "Cuban in '20" idea.

We've had enough "business messiah" types, thank you VERY much.

3. bannon needs to go away. he's cancerous.

4. I dont trust Bannon in any way.

He knows doing something like this would make Cuban unpalletable to Democrats.

16. Cuban should already be unpalletable to Democrats.

Why any Democrat would want Cuban to be POTUS, Bannon or no Bannon, is beyond me.

18. Not very familiar with his body of work.

I didn’t want to speak I’ll of someone I know little about. I do know how I feel about Bannon.

5. "he might view Cuban", "while it might seem odd"-----

Where is the "urge" the headline contends?
I would be surprised if Cuban had any dealings with Bannon.

7. Absolutely not. No more people who have no experience in government.

8. I posted to show Bannon as the opportunist he is.

9. Why would Cuban associate with Bannon

[blueinredohio]

10. I couldn't imagine Cuban even talking to Bannon much less listening to him

[SandyZ]

11. That changes the whole story with Cuban.

[applegrove]

12. Yup. Very disappointing. Not that i wanted to see another businessman in power.

But it would have been nice to see Cuban challenge Trump for the nomination.

[SandyZ]

13. I agree.

When I first heard about him considering running, I felt the same about having another business man. Isn't it a little funny how much we have learned that a politician is preferable?

[applegrove]

14. I think Cuban would be much less of a disaster but if he is cozying up

to Bannon that shows a lack of judgement. Bannon is just like a social climbing society matron...lashing himself to one rising cause after another and kicking down scapegoats.

[SandyZ]

15. Again, I agree. It is working the bigotry, and not clearly rejecting that is the issue for me.

17. Cuban has always been a poser.
