Billionaire investor Mark Cuban said Wednesday it's probably best to wait until Donald Trump takes the Oval Office before judging him, calling the president-elect America's "number one draft pick."
"He's who we put our hopes and dream with. Now it is easier because we haven't played a game yet," Cuban said on CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report." "No reason to rush to judgment or come to any conclusions now. Let's see what happens starting January 21st and we'll go from there. I hope he's a superstar."

Probably Cuban is running scared now. No courage of his convictions. Sad but again not surprising.

(58,724 posts)NFLs biggest draft bust now telling his story to help others
Ryan Leaf, the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, arrives at a five-story walkup building on West 71st Street, a sober living home that stands two doors down from a dead end, as night falls over Manhattan. There are street signs emblazoned with "QUIET ZONE," and his laugh is audible above the city's din. He unfolds his 6-foot-5 frame, hops out of a black Camry an Uber X that he took from the InterContinental in midtown. A black Fitbit wraps his left wrist over a scar where he once slit open a vein, and counts each footfall. Inside, he takes a measure of the framed serenity prayer that sits above the fireplace, the drawn blinds and an exposed brick wall. It is his space as he readies to address a den of 10 addicts and alcoholics at Transcend, a recovery community that he has worked with for a year.

I didn't pin MY "hopes and dreams" on Trump. I'll be very surprised if Trump is any good for anybody beyond Wall St and the 1%.

Trump though likes to get even. Let's watch what happens to Mark Cuban going forward.

If they succeed, this country is done and will never recover.
