Weirdo sexual metaphor craftsman, cutting edge Twitter-like thingy developer, and occasional sports contract negotiator Mark Cuban says he would consider serving as Donald Trump's—and, by implication, our—Vice President. Cubes likes the cut of Trump's jib and thinks he is changing the game of American politics one idiotic sound byte at a time.Business Insider spoke to Cuban via his energy source and central plot device from a post-apocalyptic film messaging app CyberDust to ask him about his thoughts on The Donald. Cuban said he would consider running on the ticket, but likely would not because he's "not cut out for politics." At least not politics as we know it, but Trump could be the change we can believe in.
Now, this is nice. Honesty in politics is something we can all get behind, but come on, man. Donald Trump is not just talking off the cuff. Just because your formed thoughts sound like a kindergartener's handwriting looks doesn't mean it's folksy or "honest." They're just poorly-formed thoughts. No, Donald Trump is not just speaking his mind, he's talking to a voter base just as much as any other politician. His just happens to be a lot smaller than most (successful) candidates' because he's almost exclusively talking to rich, white men. So, yeah, no shit Mark Cuban likes what the Carnival Barker has to say, even if he "says the wrong thing."In many ways an actual Donald Trump-Mark Cuban White House would be the height of White Maleness, our very own Tower of Babel for the Rich White Man, and the final act of arrogance that demands a response from the universe. So maybe Cuban is actually onto something here; maybe Trump is changing the game.[Business Insider]"Up until Trump announced his candidacy the conventional wisdom was that you had to be a professional politician in order to run," Cuban wrote. "You had to have a background that was politically scrubbed. In other words, smart people who didn't live perfect lives could never run. Smart people who didn't want their families put under the media spotlight wouldn't run.

"I don't care what his actual positions are," Cuban wrote. "I don't care if he says the wrong thing. He says what's on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years."
