Trump would be epically stupid to take Cuban up on this invitation. We all know Trump couldn’t go toe to toe with Cuban on the details of actual issues because Trump, for the most part, is a buffoon and doesn’t know much about the issues.
But that’s not the only reason why.
Cuban is a Hillary supporter and wants to destroy Trump. Cuban isn’t impartial or anything of the sort. He simply wants to expose Trump’s buffoonery so Hillary can beat him.
And that makes the whole thing dumb. Trump would never accept an invitation like this, nor should he.
Now on the other hand if Ted Cruz were the nominee, he’d never get the offer in the first place because he’d destroy Cuban. But I suspect even he wouldn’t do it. There’s simply too much political risk and too much at stake.
