Billionaire Mark Cuban told comedian Bill Maher that former President Donald Trump reset the American political system.
The duo were talking politics on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, with Cuban saying that, while he has no political aspirations, if he did run, he’d run as a Republican.
“I can f**k with them more, and I think they’re more pragmatic,” Cuban said. “But I think Democrats are smarter.”
Maher then retorted that Democrats are too committed to identity politics and that Cuban, being white, would have little chance of winning a Democratic primary. Cuban then expressed support for ranked choice voting because it “eliminates extremism,” while Maher said the political climate is “rough because this is a team era when people just want to hear what they believe.”
“So, I think Trump has been political chemotherapy. Meaning, he was such a mess that he changed the system,” Cuban said.
