2016 Election Thread Part Deux

I'd love to know how all of the sudden Mark Cuban's name started getting tossed around for this election.

Trump aide shoots down Mark Cuban as a potential VP - AOL

Though I do like the last paragraph in the article:

"I don't care if he says the wrong thing," he told the site. "He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years."

Cuban has been ripping Trump a new one on his business dealings lately.

Cuban also said that he went over Trump's recent FEC filings

I don't think he's very good at brands for non-real-estate products. And, to me, it's more a reflection of desperation. So when you're putting your name on steaks, and you're putting your name on water, you're putting your name on playing cards, you're putting your name on all this nonsense, right? You're not going to make big bucks, no matter what. It's not like Trump Steaks were going to make him $100 million. It's not like it was going to make him $5 million.

"I asked, 'What the hell are you doing? Are you that desperate for money?' Seriously," Cuban said.

after reading Trump's FEC filing, Cuban said that "it's not even close" as to who has more in liquid assets between the two.

"I do," he said.

Before all the Trumpians jump on me on who has more money, the reason I know is when you file your federal election-campaign reports, you have to list all your cash and liquid securities and bonds. You have to list them one by one. So we know without any question that, as of May 27, Donald doesn't have more than $165 million in cash and securities and bonds.

And trust me, I've got a lot more than that in cash, securities, and bonds. And so you know, I'm willing to bet dimes against dollars that that's pretty much what he's got.

"liquidity is a good proxy for relative net worth."

"You can't lie about cash, stocks, and bond values," he said.


“From what I see today, I think he would be a puppet president,” Cuban said in an email. “He would be so dependent on everyone around him because of his lack of depth of knowledge and fear of failing, that the quality would be completely dependent on two things: One, what stresses does he run into his first year, two, who does he place around him. He isn’t a problem solver. He will be completely dependent on those around him. And he isn’t good at hiring either. That’s why he puts family (and he gets credit for having such smart, accomplished kids) in so many important positions. That’s not feasible here."


“So if he places the wrong people around him and he is incapable of solving problems, we could see some crazy things happen as Republicans distance themselves and Democrats attack,” he continued. “On the flip side, if he gets the right people in place, we may not know he is there and the Republicans tell him what to do and he does it.”

“I like the guy. He is just fun to pick on because he is so thin-skinned.”

Cuban is a very smart guy and he makes some good points. That being said, most successful presidents have surrounded themselves with smart people and has been willing to take advice and understand you're not always right

That's a stupid argument, but exactly what I expect from a trump supporter. He lost an election in which he wasn't even allowed on the ballot.

But by your definition, I guess a business man who has multiple businesses file bankruptcy and who has the tower in which he lives foreclosed on, he would be a loser too, right?

Scrappy Doo, pay attention. I'm not a Trump supporter which is verifiable through my posts. And let's not forget GJ was losing before 2012, he also ran for the R nomination and didn't make it to NH.

No I've stated that many times. But I won't be voting for GJ either, who? That's still up in the air. I may pass on the top of the ticket or do a write in.

And trump does? Anytime some asks him a question he doesn't want to answer, he just attacks that person and you guys eat it up.

"Mr. Trump, newspaper x claims that you're losing many of the trump U cases, what do you have to say?"

"Well, first newspaper x is a biased liberal company that's going out of business, and the judge, well he's Mexican. So what do you expect?"

As far as I'm concerned Milo is doing the world a much-needed service. Very few things bring out the juvenile and impotent rage of college liberals like him showing up on campus. When an average person sees their antics they have to just laugh at the ridiculousness.
