VP spot

Mark Cuban: I'm 'absolutely' open to Clinton VP spot

By Nick Gass

Billionaire businessman and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban would "absolutely" be Hillary Clinton's running mate if asked, but with conditions.

"You joke that you would love to be Clinton's running mate, as long as you were allowed to throw bombs at Trump. If she really did come to you, would you listen?" NBC News' Chuck Todd asked Cuban in an interview set to air Sunday on "Meet the Press."

Cuban responded, "Absolutely. But the key would be that she'd have to go more to center."

"I like the fact that Senator Clinton has thought-out proposals. That's a good thing because at least we get to see exactly where she stands," Cuban said, adding that Bernie Sanders "has dragged her a little bit too far to the left. Things like college tuition and, you know, other business elements that really, I think, could hurt the economy. If she's willing to listen, if she's willing to, you know, hear other sides of things, then I'm wide open to discussing it."
