Mark Cuban Might Challenge President Trump In 2020…As A Republican

Hold your horses. Things are about to get weird.

Mark Cuban and Donald Trump aren’t exactly friends. For those who don’t know, Cuban once said he’d consider running alongside Hillary Clinton. That is, if she moved slightly more to the center.

“Absolutely,” Cuban said at the time. “But the key would be — she would have to go more to the center. I like the fact that Senator Clinton has thought out proposals. That’s a good thing because at least we get to see exactly where she stands.”

Anyone who would “absolutely” consider running alongside a corrupt seahag like Hillary has issues.

I’d also like to remind you that the Clinton campaign once invited Cuban to sit in the front row during one of the presidential debates, and this happened:

If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!

Hi Donald. You know I’m in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!…💋

After the election, Cuban had a slight change of heart:

We all need to give President-Elect Trump a chance. Support the good. Lobby against what we disagree on. No one is bigger than us all

Then this happened:

The Cuban drama continues.

Apparently, he’s considering running against Trump in 2020…AS A REPUBLICAN.

Billionaire Mark Cuban has said that if he were to run for president in 2020, then he would run as a Republican and would therefore challenge the incumbent, Donald Trump, in the party’s primary.

 

‘I think there’s a place for somebody who is socially a centrist but I’m very fiscally conservative,’ Cuban said in a Sunday night interview at his Dallas, Texas home with Fox News show ‘OBJECTified’.

 

Cuban discussed with the show’s host, Harvey Levin,’ how he fashions himself as ‘fiercely independent’ but would decide to run as a Republican under the United States two-party system.

Say what?

That’s actually shocking to me. I know people can change. I know Trump used to be a Democrat, but Cuban was supporting Hillary Clinton JUST LAST YEAR.

“We’re going into an era where people want someone who comes up with solutions. I think we’re going into a time where you need somebody who can connect to people and relate to people at a base level and appreciate what they’re going through,” Cuban said. “And I think I qualify on each of those.”

The Republican Primaries 2020: Cuban vs. Trump. It could happen.
