Mark Cuban isn’t going to let Thursday’s presidential debate influence his vote for this November’s election.
On Friday morning, Cuban acknowledged that Joe Biden struggled in the first presidential debate of this year’s cycle. However, he wasn’t impressed by Donald Trump either.
Cuban claims Trump lied every time he was asked a question. Although Biden struggled to clearly answer certain questions, he still has Cuban’s vote.
“His performance was awful. But so was Trump’s. Biden was feeble. Trump couldn’t directly answer a single question and lied with every response,” Cuban wrote. “The question is what features voters believe make a better POTUS : Feeble, Capable and Ethical vs Vigorous, Unethical and Incapable of telling the truth. I’ll vote ethical every time.”
This isn’t really a surprising take. Cuban previously said that he doesn’t hate Trump, but he won’t vote for him because the former president doesn’t believe climate change is real.
In this same social media post from Cuban, he suggested that Biden struggled in the debate because it wasn’t about policies.
“The reality is Joe wasn’t capable last night of debating someone who only lies. He doesn’t have the energy or ability to shout him down, hold him accountable and laugh at Trump’s responses. Joe could have held his own against a candidate that actually can discuss policy. But that wasn’t the challenge last night and Joe wasn’t prepared or capable of dealing with Donald and his style.”
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Cuban’s rant was that he said he’s open to the Democratic Party replacing Biden with someone else.
As of now, Biden and Trump will have another debate in September.
