Cuban willing to discuss being Trump's VP

Dallas Mavericks team owner Mark Cuban is willing to play both sides in his bid to join the political conversation.

After proclaiming that he would "absolutely" consider being Hillary Clinton's running mate, Cuban expanded the same courtesy to Donald Trump.

"You know, I'm an independent. And I'm fiercely independent and think for myself. And I'd have the same conversation for Donald," Cuban said. "I think Donald has a real chance to win, and that's scary to a lot of people."

Presumably, the conversation with Trump would be the same as the discussion with Clinton, who he urged to "go more center." That thought would likely also apply for the far right-leaning Trump.
