It used to be that only certain qualified people were taken seriously when they said they were considering running for president. Now anybody who is well known to the public from Kanye, to Clooney to Cuban are considered contenders in certain circles. Our political system has become a laughing stock and I think this ridiculous two party system to blame. We either have to vote for some right wing dictator or some left wing nutjob. Nobody is a moderate anymore. We need more options from truly qualified people, not just celebrities who want to stroke their own egos.

You forgot to include the most obvious unqualified celebrity, TRUMP
I assumed he was a given. He started this whole ridiculous trend.

I'm all in favor of electing more moderate people. I consider myself a raging moderate. Conservative in some ways, liberal in others.
But I think anyone who is legally qualified should be able to run. We shouldn't have to restrict ourselves to politicians.

Not to mention, this guy managed to take a good basketball team and turn them into a bottom feeder overnight. Think of what he would do to the country.
And yet...

We know from his history his stance on that.
Anyone remember that ultimate failure of a reality show Cuban hosted called The Benefactor? LOL.

That would require a shred of consistency on their part however.
He's also admitted that he's been fired from multiple jobs, had credit cards shredded, numerous failed businesses.....so the same thing that you're killing Trump for the same thing has happened to Cuban.
True but I also don't think Cuban would be a good president nor should he run. He has zero qualification. Just like trump had none.
