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, dont forget that he told Vanity Fair last month that he only gives his boss a 30% chance of lasting a full term.

(10,721 posts)Why any Democrat would want Cuban to be POTUS, Bannon or no Bannon, is beyond me.

I would be surprised if Cuban had any dealings with Bannon.

(118,696 posts)But it would have been nice to see Cuban challenge Trump for the nomination.
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?

(118,696 posts)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.
