Default Why Not Mark Cuban instead of Bloomberg?

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ma...=mw_latestnews

Bloomberg is 77, in Biden/Sanders territory, and he can never garner broad appeal. Cuban is much younger, better personality, energetic.. and has a shouting chance in a debate against Trump, unlike Bloomberg.

What about the allegations of insider trading against Cuban?

Ultimately you have to ask Mark Cuban. Mark has hinted at a run before. He's not a shy man though he may wait for better timing.

But...remember when Clipper owner Donald Sterling got in trouble about some candid remarks recorded by his black sugar baby? And Cuban said that fellow owners shouldn't be so quick to criticize as they wouldn't wouldn't want their emails published? And then the Atlanta Hawks GM was fired when some of his emails were published?

Cuban used to appear on "Shock jock's Walton and Johnson" show frequently until on one broadcast Cuban said "I can't appear on this show anymore."

I think Bloomberg is only looking to slap Warren down a few pegs. I seriously doubt he wants to clean the sewer the fat lying bastard has created. He only wants to point out Warrens outlandish tax plan to pay for her health plan. That shouldn’t take to long.

In October 2017, Cuban said that he would "definitely" run for president if he were single.[165] Later that month, Cuban claimed that if he ran for president in 2020, it would be as a Republican, and described himself as "socially a centrist ... but very fiscally conservative".[166] It has also been speculated that he could challenge president Donald Trump in 2020 as a Democrat.[167] However, in a March 2019 interview with the New York Daily News, Cuban stated that he was "strongly considering running" for president as an independent candidate.[168][169] In May 2019, Cuban said: “It would take the perfect storm for me to do it. There's some things that could open the door, but I'm not projecting or predicting it right now."[170]

Seems like Cuban doesn’t know what the fuck he wants to do. He’s said he would be a running mate with Clinton and changed his mind to Trump, who he considers a friend. The bottom line, he’s an attention whore who loves attention. I doubt he’s ever considered a serious run.

Anyone that can get a professional politician to have reality awareness occur would be quite welcome actually.

Sadly insider trading is likely widespread and unpunished.

And for a long time Congressmen were immune from prosecution.

That is joint net worth including pension and 401K's as well as book deals, and her various "consulting" fees before she went into politics.

She had a good gig in education and legal consulting before actually entering politics.

That 1024th claim of Indian heritage gave her quite a leg up in her early life.
