According to Mark Cuban, Ted Cruz might not be the best person to lead our country.
I was recently listening to a podcast of Cuban being interviewed by Barry Ritholtz of Bloomberg last November. At the end of the nearly two-hour interview, the conversation turned to Cruz.
Cuban said that whenever he's in Washington DC, he hears bad stuff about Cruz. It's all secondhand, but it's pretty brutal.
"The one thing I hear about Ted Cruz, and I don't know the guy, is that he's a jerk, and everybody hates him. This is all secondhand; everybody I talk to that knows anybody that works for him, they've all quit or been fired and the turnover is enormous ...
"I've heard it time in and time out, again and again and again and again..."

Maybe Mark hears this so often is because it's true!

(26,308 posts)That's pretty much what's been reported about him, during his college years, too. Rafael puts out just about the most smug and arrogant vibes ever transmitted by anything close to a human being.

Off topic sort of, I just checked my wifi connections on my phone and someone has their router labelled as "TedCruzTaint".

(32,111 posts)he has fans but just as many repugs down here like Scott Walker (there's no accounting for taste). I don't think Ted has the support to make a serious run if Texans are looking elsewhere.

TBF
(32,111 posts)and I actually think Walker is the bigger threat with the Koch Bros. $$$ behind him. The only one who can take him out is Jeb, imo.

diamondhead
(54 posts)So by repeating things that others heard and spreading vicious rumors, this makes Mark Cuban NOT a dick? He's a dick for other reasons, mind you, but this doesn't exactly work in his favor now does it?
Skittles
(153,220 posts)I was merely pointing out Mr. Cuban does not know that teabagging piece of shit Cruz. By the way, I don't know Mr. Cruz either but I know enough to know he is a TEABAGGING PIECE OF SHIT.
