This inclination of the GOP and the Democratic Party to pick "old" (borderline senile) candidates for their Presidential nominees got me to thinking ...
I don't know if this is clairvoyance or a flash of intuition - or maybe watching too many episodes of "Shark Tank" - but I get the feeling Mark Cuban is bored. He's looking for a new challenge - something he's never done before. (After the excitement of making your first billion, cutting "deals" for a few hundred thousand becomes increasingly boring. I've seen Cuban [occasionally] yawning during Shark Tank episodes. He's either bored or not getting enough sleep. I think it's more the former than the latter.)
It's just a hunch, but I think Mark Cuban is seriously thinking about running for President in 2024. The only question is whether he runs as a Democrat or a Republican. (Maybe he'll decide to run as an independent insisting that neither of the two parties have demonstrated an ability to solve the country's problems - all they do is argue and point fingers.)
If we are in a huge economic mess by 2024, (i.e. high inflation, high interest rates, crushing debt, financial markets crashing, et cetera), I can see Cuban insisting that the country needs a younger candidate (like him) rather than the dinosaurs put forth by the GOP and the Dems.
Of course, I could be spectacularly wrong, but something tells me Mark Cuban wants to be President. The Presidency is one of those few (exclusive membership) "clubs" that huge egos aspire to join.
GREAT NEWS!! With this post I have graduated from being merely "adept" to being an "old hand". Of course, it would be wonderful if a significant cash bonus came with this elevation into the ranks of the truly gifted 2+2 wordsmiths. Hint hint Mason ...
Now that I've reached this milestone of quality punditry, I can dream of one day reaching the exalted rank of Grand Pooh Bah. (This is possible only in America. If we were living in Russia I would probably have been thrown in prison - or poisoned - long ago.)
