Mark Cuban opens up about future presidential plans amid Trump's campaign
Mark Cuban was not impressed with Donald Trump's performance in the final debate on Wednesday night, and according to Cuban, the Republican nominee may be a large factor in why he won't consider a future presidential run.
When asked if Trump's successful candidacy, as a fellow businessman with no political experience, has opened the door for a presidential run of his own, Cuban told AOL.com he feels Trump's campaign has done the opposite, claiming Trump has made it even harder for a "qualified business person to run for the office."
Cuban said Trump is the "worst possible example" of someone he would want to follow in the footsteps of in the world of politics.

Regarding the final presidential debate, the Dallas Mavericks owner took particular issue with the Republican nominee's refusal to state that he would accept the outcome of the election even if he doesn't end up winning.
"When you question American democracy you can't be president," said Cuban.

Trump said he would "look at it at the time" when he was asked by debate moderator Chris Wallace if he would recognize the results of the upcoming election.
"Imagine if Vladimir Putin said the same thing. Imagine if he said you cannot trust the outcome of American presidential election. The entire country would be in an uproar," Cuban added.

Cuban also weighed in on the topic of Clinton not being able to fully put Trump away even after a host of controversies, admitting that Trump's done a good job "branding her (Clinton) in a very significant negative manner," said Cuban. "And a lot of people think if you're good enough to be selected as the candidate by the Republican party that what you are saying must be true."

Cuban also made it clear that if Trump were to emerge the winner in November he would "of course," respect the outcome, adding, "I believe in American Democracy."
