Mark Cuban runs as an Independent??

Mark Cuban left open the possibility of running for president, telling CNBC on Tuesday, “We’ll see.”

Cuban told CNBC’s Scott Wapner that some things would need to happen for him to be motivated to run in 2020, and if he did, it would be as an independent.

“We’ll see what happens. It would take the perfect storm for me to do it,” the billionaire entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks

but, how about instead of running for president, help out Michael Bloomberg by giving money to help micro-target Democratic voters, or to fight for gun control laws? Or, donating to Planned Parenthood or helping fund NPR or the NEA?
