Mark Cuban took yet another shot at Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon.
If @realDonaldTrump were fractionally as rich as he says he is,he would write a$200mm check to propel his campaign. He doesn’t have the cash

This isn’t the first time the billionaire investor has cast shade on his fellow rich guy.
Just after Trump announced his campaign in 2015, Cuban called Trump’s self-proclaimed $10 billion net worth a “play number.” (RELATED: Mark Cuban — Trump Is A ‘Paper Tiger’)
“Let’s say you own a painting that gets appraised at 10 billion dollars. That gives you a net worth of 10 billion. But that does not mean you have a lot of cash,” Cuban wrote. “In fact it’s possible to be worth billions, but not be able to pay your rent.”

Cuban has expressed interest in being the vice presidential nominee on both tickets, yet he claims Hillary Clinton should pick him if she wants to realistically defeat Trump in the general. (VIDEO: Cuban — If Hillary Wants To Beat Trump, ‘She Needs Me’ To Be VP)
1) I expect @realDonaldTrump to try to calm down. He doesn’t have the cash to fund his campaign, he needs to appease donors quickly

2) he had less than 165mm in cash and falling for a campaign that will cost 750mm or more. He will have to grovel for that cash and will

3) the real fun/drama will come from all the “hidden” videos from his private fundraisers. He will say what they want to hear. Get ready !

4)the real “index” for this election will be RNC vs DNC fundraising.RNC will need less $ for POTUS but much more downstream to counter Trump

5) the reality is that @realDonaldTrump will be MORE beholden to donors than @HillaryClinton because his fund raising is so far behind
