Billionaire Mark Cuban Asked His Followers If They'd Prefer Their Kids Be Like Trump or Harris — OOPS

In yet another example of how out of touch liberal billionaire elitists are with mainstream America, multibillionaire Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks, decided it would be an awesome idea to poll his X followers and ask if they'd rather their kids be more like Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

Bad move, Cubes.

In a two-way poll, Cuban wrote:

Who’s [sic] persona and character would you like to see young children grow up to have?

It wasn't even close. When the poll ended, likely after Cuban was over being humiliated, Trump stood at 68.9 percent, with Harris at just 31.1 percent. 804,173 votes were cast.

So here's the thing. 

The results of Cuban's silly poll weren't nearly as surprising as his apparent belief that flip-flopping Harris would win it. Then again, as I said at the top, this was another example of how far out of touch the left is with hard-working, middle-class Americans. 

Yep, how out of touch they are with ordinary people who now struggle to make ends meet; who can no longer shop at the grocery store without worrying if they'll be able to buy everything they need; people who have been hurt by the Biden-Harris economy for more than three-and-a-half years. 

Yet, Mark Cuban, a guy who's been able to amass a nearly $6 billion fortune, delusionally thought his no-doubt snarky little poll would be won by Kamala Harris — who refuses to reveal the details of her policies out of fear of driving away many of the people I described in the previous paragraph.

That, folks, is about as out of touch as a leftist can get. OK, maybe not — but you get my point.

Cuban sang a different tune about Trump when he announced his 2016 presidential candidacy in June 2015.

In 2015, I was like, ‘He's great. He's not a typical Stepford candidate.' I thought that was a positive. A big part of that is I didn't think he had a chance. I just wanted to kind of screw things up in traditional politics, which I'm not a fan of.

I don't care what his actual positions are. I don't care if he says the wrong thing. He says what's on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years.

But in March 2024, the Cubes went off the deep end, saying he'd vote for Biden over Trump even if Biden was "being given his last rites."

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.

Do you think Cuban knew the above idiotic statement said far more about him than about Donald Trump? Of course, he didn't. Once a leftist contracts Trump Derangement Syndrome — which is generally a progressive mental disease — it's over. Yep, it's just a matter of time before Stage 4 TDS riddles the victim's entire brain.

Sad, isn't it? How'd that old ad go? The mind is a terrible thing to waste? Yeah, that.

Is the Cubes there, yet? Hard to say. If not, he's well on his way.
