Mark Cuban says he's determined to cast his vote for President Joe Biden this November — even if Biden's on his deathbed.
"If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden," Cuban told Bloomberg on Monday.
The billionaire investor was speaking to Bloomberg after attending a roundtable at the White House on drug prices. Cuban is the co-founder of the low-cost online pharmacy, Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Co.
Cuban told BI via email that he fully expects a predictable rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump this November.
"That's what the polls say. There is no reason to expect otherwise," Cuban told BI.
Cuban's distaste for Trump dates back years. In 2016, Cuban said he had a "love-hate relationship" with Trump.
"There's that guy who'll walk into the bar and say anything to get laid," Cuban said of Trump in an interview with Anthony Scaramucci at the SkyBridge Alternatives Conference in 2016.
In November 2020, Cuban said that he didn't think Biden and Trump "were the best and brightest" presidential candidates the US has to offer.
"We are now seeing the downside of having a political duopoly," Cuban said on The Verge's "Decoder" podcast.
Concerns over Biden's age have been swirling ever since he announced his reelection bid in April.
In February, a special counsel report on Biden's handling of classified documents said the president was struggling with memory issues.
US special counsel Robert Hur said in his report that Biden presented himself during interviews "as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Biden has furiously pushed back against that characterization and appears unlikely to give way to a replacement from the Democratic party's ranks.
Cuban told Bloomberg that he will be voting for former UN ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary on Super Tuesday, calling it a "protest vote against Trump."
On Sunday, Haley managed to win her first GOP primary in Washington, DC. The victory, however, will provide Haley with little relief, given that she is trailing far behind Trump in terms of delegate count.
Haley has won 43 delegates, nearly six times less than Trump's 244 delegates. Candidates need to secure 1,215 delegates in order to lock down the GOP presidential nomination.
Trump and Haley will face off again on Super Tuesday, with 15 state primaries slated to take place on March 5.

Well that settles it, if Mark Cuban said it then the rest of the U.S. will surely follow!
It is the sane and decent choice unlike say writing in someone who doesn't stand a chance.

You know I look to you for guidance on what is moral and decent - thanks for stepping up

Cuban has been promised an appointment by Biden. He's going to be the next Assistant Secretary of Health. The current is pregnant and must step down.
Why would Mark Cuban want to be assistant secretary of health?
This chad person is fucking with you. [Deleted]

Mark Who?
So Mark Cubans 1 vote will be cast in Texas for Biden, Yawn.
I'm not necessarily a big Mark Cuban fan but if he ran for president he would destroy Donald Trump.
Then the democrats should pull their head out of their asses and kick joetard to the curb and pick Cuban.
lol Mark Cuban ….. the lefts new role model ….. absolutely hilarious!
I can't stand him.
Two good reasons Cuban is voting for Biden and would never vote for Trump - Cuban isn't an idiot and he isn't a traitor.
But Biden meets the definition of traitor that TiG uses, so if he votes for Biden he is as much a traitor as if he voted trump.
This is not my definition, it is the English definition for the word.
And the determination for labeling someone a traitor requires sound reasoning … not merely emotional/partisan desires.
The argument for labeling Trump a traitor is based on his attempt to violate the CotUS and disenfranchise the electorate.
The ‘argument’ that Biden is a traitor is specious partisanship. It is an obvious, feeble attempt to yet again downplay the wrongdoings of Trump by claiming Biden is just as bad.
Thanks to TiG for clearing up your confusion about the appropriate application of the term "traitor".
We can also note your concurrence by way of your adoption by silence that a good reason Cuban would never vote for Trump is because Cuban is not an idiot.
Bullshit, you don't get to pick and choose how you interpret a definition.
merriam-webster
By definition Biden is false in his duty or obligation in regards to the border. so by definition he actively engaged in traitorous behavior.

NO. President Biden is in no way, shape, or form, a traitor.
That title belongs to your hero, the former 'president', who is a traitor many times over.
Angry grandpa is a weak nut. Always has been. Ever since cornpop.
The bottom line when someone uses the colloquial definition of the word there is an element of opinion. There is also an opinion about if their reasoning is sound and someone else's reasoning is not.
By your definition it is also my opinion that Joe is a traitor to the welfare of the American people. I can also say if a Republican president was doing the same thing I would consider them a traitor to their oath so the partisan bullshit argument goes right out the window. But none of that really means anything because it is all opinion.
Personally I am more interested in the legal definition where charges are levied and a conviction for treason is received.
Some on the left seem to feel the only way they can win is to try to conflate the two definitions (legal and colloquial) and hope no one notices.
And if that doesn't work and the Supreme court makes a decision they don't like like yesterday their solution is to abolish the Supreme Court. Yep, these are the same people talking about danger to democracy.
Agree, traitor is a strong term that invokes emotion, Benedict Arnold, type behavior.
What do you think happens every day with natural language?
Reading is a process of interpreting words based on their formal usages and in their presented context. We interpret words every time we read a sentence.
When determining if someone is a traitor, one looks at the meaning of the word 'traitor' and then applies that to the circumstances at hand.
If one is determined to deem someone a traitor then they will play loose with the meaning of the word. Such as labeling Biden a traitor because of his immigration policy failure. By your ridiculously loose interpretation, every politician in office is a traitor since every one of them has betrayed a trust or failed in an obligation or duty. Your reasoning is clearly flawed.
The rational, serious individual will apply the word 'traitor' if the circumstances fit the meaning of the word. Thus it is immediate to use the label 'traitor' for someone who has attempted to violate the CotUS and disenfranchise the electorate.
Thus it is important to be rational and serious. If you are going to label someone a traitor then have a decent rationale for doing so. Don't just play semantic games with extremely loose interpretations.
More Americans have died and more have been harmed by Bidens actions in relationship to the Border than by trumps actions on Jan 6th, so your partisanship aside, i will stick with the traitor label for Joetard going forward. And you need to get over the fact that pointing out that Joetard being a traitor isn't a defense of trump, it is merely a factual statement. PERIOD!
Ohh please try to spare us all that baloney. Trump tried to overthrow the government and then when that wasn't quite working stood by and watched while his rioters tried to make it happen. If they put pictures of traitors in the dictionary his face would be first in line
That's such a mature response.
Reminds me of a user who calls the President, Brandon
And the other way around. A strong hate of Trump can evoke the emotion that they can rationalize why he is a traitor even though for the most part the only people that call him a traitor are the ones that hate him.
Coincidence? I think not.
Most rational people are fine with the legal term when talking about something as important as an election but haters gotta hate.
Such emotional bullshit.
You object to labeling as 'traitor' someone who has attempted to violate the CotUS and disenfranchise the electorate. That illustrates a lack of credibility right off the bat.
Yet you leap to label as 'traitor' one who has a poor policy regarding the border.
It would be defensible to label Biden as incompetent or as having wrong priorities. But basic policy differences do not make someone a traitor.
And your use of "Joetard" punctuates the non-serious, partisan, emotional bias underlying your comments. And the sentence "PERIOD!" broadcasts the weakness of your 'argument'.
You do not consider Trump a traitor for attempting to violate the CotUS and disenfranchise the electorate as the sitting PotUS??
Thank you for helping to prove my point. Your hate of Trump is so great you would put him in front of people like:
And that doesn't even include Judas
Article 2 section 3. he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,
Boom, traitor he shall be known from this point forward. He isn't taken care to faithfully execute the laws.
And lets not forget all those that make up terrible names for Trump. Immature one and all.
It doesn't matter how many times you repeat that nonsense, it's not true.
Regarding that last sentence, THANK YOU, reminds me of the poster who refers to President Biden as Brandon.
Sometimes it's fun to see the hypocrisy in action.
He and his minions are just ignoring them outright.
You rarely have far to look
Again bullshit opinion with no bases in fact, it is not a policy, do we or do we not have immigration laws in place? and does JOETARD not have an obligation under article 2 section 3 "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,"
By your definition he is violating the CotUS daily thus making him a traitor, and he is willfully doing this with no regard to the constitution he swore to uphold, you can twist it all you want, this is an actual fact not a opinion, not a policy.
Super Tuesday Republican voters-
"Nikki Haley is the voice of reason, not the voice of treason"
"The man (Trump) is a lunatic, he is a threat to our country"
