CUBAN: 'I was dumb enough to think I would be able to talk people out of voting for Donald Trump'
Business Insider via Yahoo ^ | November 28, 2016 | Allan Smith

Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban recently laid out on his blog how he believes President-elect Donald Trump utilized the mainstream media to pull off a huge upset and win the election. Cuban added he was "dumb" for thinking he could convince people to not vote for the bombastic real-estate magnate.

In a post published earlier this month on Blog Maverick, Cuban said the Trump campaign was "a lot smarter and able to rally" mainstream media "haters" and turn them into Trump "believers and voters" in key states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

[snip]

"We were the bad guys," he wrote. "We didn't get it. We represented everything they wanted to change. We were the forces behind the corrupt media. The elites. The establishment. The suckers getting paid off by George Soros and foreign corrupt interests."

"I was dumb enough to think I would be able to talk people out of voting for Donald Trump by detailing what I thought were his weaknesses," he continued. "The Trump campaign had to be laughing at me and thanking me at the same time. I approached my choice of candidates by consuming information literally. That was my hammer and I tried to use it to make everything else look like a nail. I obviously was wrong."

Cuban bends the knee, under budget and ahead of schedule.

STILL not tired of winning.

If you actually thought that anyone was listening to you about anything, Mark,
there's no way to measure how dumb you are.

“I was dumb enough...”

I’m sure Cuban thinks bad calls by the refs are why Trump won. That’s what he blames all his troubles on.

"I approached my choice of candidates by consuming information literally. "

Iow's, he bought into all of the "fake news" that the mainstream media was shoveling.

No, he means that he eats the newspaper.

So he "literally" eats information.

Well no wonder he's such an idiot. He needs food!!!

Mark Cuban was not dumb; I wish he were: I have been tired of his raucous, vulgar voice for more than twenty years.

His asinine behavior courtside - flaunting his cash by deliberately inviting technical fouls - was disgusting to me, and contributed (along with de facto criminals like All-Star Latrell I-Get-To-Choke-My-Coach Sprewell) to my ultimately relinquishing my season tickets, and turning off the NBA.

What Cuban meant to say, but was to ignorant to say, was that he was stupid.

It was the grassroots that saw what the ELITE has done to America and Trump was smart enough to take our direction.

Why the hell would Mark Cuban think any of us gives a damn about his political views?

If Cuban had to invest in either a Trump or Clinton start up he would clearly prefer neither. But if he HAD to, he would choose Trump.

Hillary was so bad. Trump was the lesser of two evils. And Cuban thinks it is about Trump convincing the winning margin to be enthusiastic supporters? Not really.

Cuban needs to get together with Romney and go bowling: leave the business of governing to the big boys.

Sorry Mark, you chose to support a criminal over a fellow entrepreneur and DC outsider. You lose.

Hey Mark.....it became even dumber - anything Trump said\did got 24\7 media coverage - he spent relatively no money - didn’t need to spend big bucks on the campaign advertising\state ground game.
