Easy Sunday: Mark Cuban is running for president as a Democrat

Mark Cuban isn't "waiting his turn."

He is making his move now.

This is what people say when they are running for president and don't want to announce yet:

Mark Cuban is talking big picture. He is talking about what kind of country this is. He says what he thinks. He is being a leader.

I checked into Bluesky yesterday and got this:


It was forwarded to me by Heather Cox Richardson, the historian and Substack author whose insights are read by millions of subscribers nearly every day. Then it was reposted by Kara Swisher, a podcaster who broadcasts on technology, politics, and culture. Cuban isn't getting validation from the next generation of thought leaders. 

I will be writing again about Mark Cuban. For now, I suggest people put him on their mental radar as a political leader. 

     1. Watch for his name. 

     2. Subscribe to his website's updates. The subscription sign-in box is on the right side of his home page.

     3. Get the Bluesky app, the one with the blue butterfly, and follow Mark Cuban.  BlueSky is the better alternative to Twitter/X.  


Mark Cuban is a legitimate billionaire, famous for being on a TV reality show, Shark Tank, a co-owner and face of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, and operator of a discount drug company.

He is doing what leaders do. He is charting a new path for Democrats. He recognizes that the job of the U.S. president is public communication. 

As one person commented on Cuban in response to the above post: Mark Cuban "proves that not all billionaires are assholes."

Running our large democratic republic is complicated. After four more years of Trump, will America really want another “reality” show billionaire with no experience?

Cuban is the perfect foil to Trump. Billionaire vs Billionaire. He's liberal and sharp thinker. He's a leader and communicator. He cares about people less fortunate than himself and loves democracy. In other words, the opposite of the Orange One. In 4 years, people will be sick of Trump's act and want a fresh face. I hope he talks to the Democratic leadership and gives them a clue on how to win. So far, the democratic higher-ups are just plain stupid imo.

Mark Cuban isn't running for President. Cuban just wants to be in the limelight. Cuban has never held public office before. Cuban couldn't stand the heat in the kitchen, or being criticized as a political candidate.

Dear Anonymous: Why not? When had Trump ever held office? Loves the limelight, can't stand being criticized. That's a mirror image without the clown show.
