NBA Rumors: Mark Cuban Confirms Offer to Run Against Trump
Several members of the Republican Party are trying to find someone who can put a halt to the billionaire businessman's impending nomination such as Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Donald Trump is shaping America's politics into something quite different to what its citizens are accustomed to. The GOP frontrunner is almost there, hoping to cash in his popularity and become the next president. And while Democratic Party is looking to rally behind the most likely nominee in Hillary Clinton, the Republicans are obviously divided, at least speaking at the levels of leadership.
A report from The Washington Post revealed that several members of the Republican Party are desperately trying to find someone who can put a halt to the billionaire businessman's impending nomination, and one of the names appearing to have been convinced by the group is Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Though one wouldn't be surprised to hear the likes of former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and ex-Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney being called up, Cuban is someone who rightfully deserves the description of "unlikely." Cuban himself confirmed that he indeed was approached by the group, per a report from Fox Sports. A billionaire himself, Cuban boldly said that he could put Trump "in his place," although it's too late to pose a challenge against him at this point of the campaign period.

According to ESPN, the group trying to stop Trump's nomination is made up of conservative Republicans, who are committed to bringing in a third-party candidate that in essence will change the traditional political rivalry in U.S. politics.
When met with the question of whether he plans to run for president in the next election after this one, his answer was as vague as it could be. "No comment," he said. Although he denied who the members of the group are, one thing is certain -- that not everyone is on board with Trump's nomination. Well, there always is conflict within political parties, but this internal strife is unprecedented.
The 57-year-old majority owner of Mavericks in the National Basketball Association may be a veteran in business and sports, but he has zero experience in politics and governance. But that seems to be no longer a factor these days.
