Mark Cuban as the Democrats' 2028 presidential nominee? We don't see it, especially with all of the other wannabes like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker salivating over the prize. Former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza says he thought Cuban's chances were good, but he talked to The Bulwark's Jonathan V. Last, who's bullish on the idea.

That excerpt from the interview reads:

I just think Cuban has so much room to run. Democrats are desperate for their own Trump. They don't want to say that…[but] they're desperate for somebody who throws a punch and fights and Cuban feels like that. He also feels like the ‘lawful good’ version of Trump….Trump is like the ‘chaotic evil’ D&D character class. And Cuban feels like a ‘lawful good’ in ways which, frankly, 20 years ago, you wouldn't have predicted…And the big question is just what do African-American voters think about him? And if African-American voters like him and he wants to run, then he will be the nominee.

 Cillizza writes, "A few weeks back, I wrote a piece making the case that Mark Cuban needed to be taken seriously as a 2028 Democratic candidate for president. And last week I put Cuban in my top 10 rankings of the Democrats who could wind up as the party's nominee."

So, Mark Cuban is the Democrats' Donald Trump.

So, Cuban's out, then.
