Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says he doesn’t have the time to run for President, but he is willing to join Hillary Clinton as her vice-presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket.

The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker and Robert Costa reported on May 14 that “a band of exasperated Republicans” had been attempting to recruit an independent nominee for president to block Donald Trump’s path to the White House, and that Cuban’s name emerged as one of intrigue.
Cuban has made it known during the election that he has no intention of supporting Trump, and that he will most likely cast his vote for Hillary Clinton come November. Though Cuban felt confident he could successfully oppose Trump, he didn’t think he’d have enough time. “That’s a good thing, at least we get to see exactly where she stands”.
The businessman and Dallas Mavericks owner says in order for that to happen the former Secretary of State would have to shift some of her views further to the center.
It also sounds like Cuban is really starting to put his support behind Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Recently, Cuban has really sounded off on Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
Cuban has previously called Trump a “friend” with whom he has a “love-hate relationship”. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) has “dragged” Clinton “a little to far to the left”, but told Todd if she would be willing to moderate, he’d consider running on the ticket. Todd asked in a taping for an episode of “Meet the Press” that will air on Sunday.

Cuban is coy about discussing abortion, but he maintains that it isn’t the government’s place to dictate personal morality. “I mean, just to try to wing it, just to try to shake things up, you know, the law of unintended consequences tends to create a lot more problems than it solves”.
