PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 30 - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton toured the U.S. Rust Belt on Saturday, promising to reject bad international trade deals during a factory visit and securing the endorsement of investor Mark Cuban at a Pittsburgh rally.

The Dallas Mavericks owner, who said as recently as last month that there was a "good chance" he would vote for Donald Trump, instead criticized the Republican nominee's leadership in front of an energetic crowd.

"Leadership is not yelling and screaming and intimidating," Cuban said.

You know what we call a person like that in Pittsburgh? A jagoff!" Cuban added, using disparaging Pittsburgh slang.

Cuban had spoken with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta several times in recent weeks and called him on Thursday to say he was ready to endorse Clinton, a campaign aide said.

Cuban is a rather unfortunate last name for an American. Sort of like old days’s Isis.

Cuban originally from the Burgh, I believe.

It’s so nice to know that Mark Cuban’s money has not increased his intelligence. The fact that he supports a traitorous felon for the highest office in America shows me he is suffering from the same dreaded disease that has infected all branches of the federal government in Washington, cranial rectalitis. Mark, your supreme stupidity is only exceeded by your incredible lack of good judgement. Your decision makes this life-long Dallasite embarrassed that you are in any way associated with this city. By the way Mark . . . STFU!! Nobody cares what you think! Go back to sniffing Dirk’s jock strap!!

A little bit of money, a whole lot of pride, and no moral compass makes for a fool such as this. I do not watch the NBTL—the National Basketball Thug League. Easy one here.

Cuban has made no secret of being a Democrat for as long as I can remember.

This is a non-news event.

Cuban has always been jealous of Trump. Trump invented the apprentice and Cuban just copied him.

Parse the words. She is against 'bad' deals. So is TPP bad? She can say TPP isn't bad so she will pass it.

Folks act like he’s some great investor. He’s worth about as much as he was in 2000. The only reason he became a billionaire is because, before the dot.com crash, Yahoo paid $5.7 billion for a company with $13.5 million in revenue. About half that money was his. As the old saying goes, “It’s better to be lucky than good.”

There will be many mega-riches go Clinton. “I will publicly support Clinton, she can be compromised”. ( From the mouth of a mega-rich who most assume would definitely vote Trump)

Trump has a way of exposing all the people who really hate America.

Cuban has always been as ass of the first degree. And has always been a leftist blowhard.

That should be good for a couple of “white trash” votes.
