Does Mark Cuban run as a Social Liberal/Centrist or SoCon? Because if he ran on the former then he would have a very hard time winning the republican primary. But lets say he does make it through and his final form is one of Fiscal Conservatism and Social Centrism. He is a Free Trader and hold's many of the same Globalist position many Trumpists complain about and are correct on in regards to people like the Bushes and Mitt Romney. So his strategy would be different from the Trump Strategy. He would probably need to focus more on the traditional path through the Suburbs. But he could form a hybrid between the both, not based on policy, but off his personality alone. Him being from Pennsylvania would boost his chances there and i feet he would do better then a Romney or a Bush in the Midwest due to these factors. But i don't think he could win all the states Trump did in the region. As for VP, i think he would need a SoCon and someone from the South or West to balance the ticket. I picked Tom Cotton for the sake of this. Though in the end i believe Mark Cuban would win.

Mark Cuban/Tom Cotton: 292 EVs, 47.92%

Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine:246 EVs, 47.01%

2016 U.S Presidential Election:

Mr. Mark Cuban/Gov. Brian Sandoval: 353 Electoral Votes, 52.1%
Fmr. SoS Hillary Clinton/Sen. Elizabeth Warren: 185 Electoral Votes, 45.1%

Mark Cuban wins the Republican Primaries with a libertarian platform, with a populist message. He doesn't say as much outrageous things as Trump, and instead just goes Chris Christie style but still eviscerates "Crooked Hillary". His choice of Sandoval improved Hispanic relations, and Hillary was creamed.

Clinton/Warren 216
Cuban/Pence 212
Tossup 110

New Hampshire, Virginia and Florida go to Clinton after recounts, while Cuban wins Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio in close votes/recounts owing to Pence's presence on the ticket, and claiming the Presidency.

IRL, Cuban wasn't going to get past Cruz, Rubio, Bush or Walker. The only rich guy/celeb who could win the GOP nod was Trump.

Cuban/Paul def. Clinton/Kaine 337-201

324: Mark Cuban/Brian Sandoval - 48.7%
214: Hillary Clinton/Martin Heinrich - 43.0%
David Cobb/Jill Stein - 4.0%
Evan McMullin/David French - 3.2%
Others - 1.1%

Cuban might also pick Nikki Haley, Condi Rice, Joni Ernst, Kelly Ayotte, Mitch Daniels, Tim Scott, or Marco Rubio, but I feel like Sandoval would be most likely.

No Republican is picking a pro-choice, pro same-sex marriage individual like Sandoval to serve as his running mate.

Sandoval won't get anywhere near the GOP ticket...ever. His long-term goal should be a  nomination to replace Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court under a Democratic President, should something happen to Thomas.

About the same map as Trump. Cuban might have even picked up NH or Minnesota.

Mark Cuban loses, I think a lot of Republicans would stay home
