20. That is his downside

But the president doesn't the power to un-regulate anything he wants.

Cuban may come off crass and yes, he is a billionaire, but look at his background. Working class union parents from Pittsburgh, he worked every job from paper boy to bar tender to owner of an NBA championship team. I think he would actually make a good president based on his life experiences and his obviously intense work ethic. He didn't go to harvard or yale law school, he didn't inherit hundreds of millions of dollars like trump, he came from nothing. If he has a few libertarian leanings, well, its better than a full blown moron like the donald. Maybe Cuban would push for legalized marijuana or something else those scary libertarian types talk about
