    IMO it has everything to do with his favorite investment the Dallas Mavericks the fans and players. Udonis Haslem of Miami Heat says of Trumps 2005 recording That's not locker room talk and many others chimed in.What a bunch of bull ship .Ron Darling and many others said they have heard it all in the locker room . Pro athletes and actors know about what Trump said and practice their advantage with the ladies regularly. Wilt Chamberlain bragged of sex with 10,000 women.
    On the other hand Obama has nothing but praise for Jayz and Rhianna and their lyrics put Trump's comments in the sandboxroom.
    Jayz lyric ex. ...I,m on her bra strap she's on my d*ck cause she's my f....ing bitch....

    Oh my us Dems are so disgusted by the Donald.

    Jayz was recorded to by played over an over on tha radio. Trump was not aware his words would be replayed , just saying.

    This guy must be a little schizophrenic being that he feels Net Neutrality is wrong then indicates he is going to support the one person who is all for the government controlling the Internet. Schizophrenic and delusional! You can't make this stuff up!

    The supremely wealthy make their economic decisions as do the rest of us. What I mean by such a statement is that those who are relatively wealthy still make their economic decisions based in economic reality.

    However, “wealth” enables them to do so with a concomitant rise in the risk that their decisions will no longer be rationally PRODUCTIVE ones, but instead, incorporates "other" considerations - a recognition of "economic reality" of which the rest among us have little privy. Prices paid for modern “art,” absurd and expensive toys, Bonds with negative “yields” in our savings/investment account(s), immediately come to mind.

    Potentially however, far more consequential decisions arise through these “economic” decisions by the wealthy in modern America. The most recent of examples are the Buffett, Bloomberg, and Cuban endorsement of what is demonstrably the most corrupt candidate for President in our history.

    One must presume that each feels confident in maintaining the favor of such a potential cornucopia of corrupt power. "It" must now be their primary "economic" consideration, if it were ever otherwise.....;.....

    LOL!
    A Trumpet detractor could say that about Mr. Bad Hair Day, who I at this point I plan to vote for if in spite of himself.
    The Donald ain't perfect; but IMO, Mark Cuban obviously has what Michael Savage says liberals have~a mental disorder. .

    I see that what is important here is Cuban's wealth and his somewhat apparent contradiction of liking Rand's works and supporting the Democrat Party. What is important is whether an open Internet or a closed Internet exists. At present it is partially open Internet which is so due to the small amount of public service oversight from each community because of franchise fees and leasing of public utility property from power and telephone companies. As is, there is almost no censorship of content which might bother some here, don't want those dirty pictures and disgusting undesirable websites. Net Neutrality would make the Internet into more like public services where it would be regulated differently than it is now. It would make it necessary for the owners of cables and equipment to lease to those who do not own franchises for there service areas in order to allow competition in those areas especially if those in the area were becoming upset by their present service. On the other hand, the present somewhat closed Internet has many who get somewhat shoddy service. My service from Charter Communications, at least locally is really good, though prices are fairly high since their remaking the company after bankruptcy and installation of all fiber cables. With no contract and no question equipment exchange and being allowed too install most equipment by myself and with no added fee or tax telephone, the service is great so far.
    While Net Neutrality with public service oversight might add more government control, it probably would be no worse than gas, electric, and telephone at present. Here in Wisconsin, Public services are reasonably regulated and reasonably priced in comparison to other areas of the country and world for that matter. Whether a laissez faire, after all the legal fighting and economic fallout, would be better is a matter for volumes of discussion.

    It has less to do with idealism and more to do with money and/or guilt, Ask George Soros and all of the other billionaires who support Hillary. They see the political/economic bottom line for their businesses. Same reason Trump had Hillary come to his wedding. It has more to do with crony capitalism and a dysfunctional government than moral judgement. At some appoint this will implode and it will get real ugly.

    Buffet supports higher taxes on people making high income to stifle his young up-and-coming competition. He has his assets, and doesn't want young producers to keep their earnings and have their new solutions compete with his old less efficient ones.
    You don't see Buffet supporting high taxes on existing assets.

    Absolutely, Dinesh D'Souza once said millionaires can live well anywhere, Buenos Aires, Bombay, etc.
    Billionaires like Buffett and Cuban support Dems because they know they will be exempted from the policies. They have the lawyers and accountants to find all the loopholes that have been created just for them that the rest of us can't afford to take advantage of.

    Let Hillary have her crony capitalists, they are the exact breed which caused so many of us to go Trump. Same with GM, I may have bought my last Camaro, after a lifetime of all GM. It is not the 2%, it is the cronyism that disgusts me. I never vote based on what some moron advises, I do my own research, and Hillary just has too much graft, greed and Marxism in her past, to go with her embrace of UN Agenda 21. The cost is too high.

    I can remember this two-faced egomaniac saying he could see himself as Trump's VP. I suspect he's just pissed that Trump didn't offer him the job.

    So Mark Cuban can recommend The Fountainhead and endorse corruption. Well, isn't that special?
    Note to self: Continue to ignore Mark Cuban.

    Cuban may be a billionaire, but he is not much of an economist. His business practices are anti--American any way you look at them. A good name for him would be Mark Janus.

    I used to watch Shark Tank. After this endorsing Hillary thing, I dont want to even see Mark Cuban any more. I am very disappointed in him. His money must have made him get into bed with Hillary somehow.

    How can he be so inconsistent and vote for someone so against Free market and Objectivist principles. Maybe he has some brain disfunction or something.

    As Mr Wonderful says, Mark Cuban is dead to me.
