Mark Cuban talks about Hillary Clinton during an interview on Thursday. Cuban: Trump would work better with Congress than Clinton

Donald Trump would be more effective at working with Congress than Hillary Clinton, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban said Thursday, largely because Clinton has been demonized. But "a lot of that's her fault," the Dallas Mavericks owner remarked on CNN's "New Day."

While Trump has drawn his fair share of scrutiny, "Hillary is not absolved of blame either."


"The customer is always right. The voter is always right," he said. "She hasn't done a good enough job of humanizing herself. And as a result, post-election, if Hillary wins — if we think gridlock is bad now, if we think approval ratings for Congress are bad now, it's going to be 1,000 times worse."

Trump's case to the American people, Cuban said, ought to be that he "would do a better job of crossing the aisle and reducing gridlock than Sen. Clinton would."

"And I think that's a reflection of the fact that Sen. Clinton has done a horrible job of communicating and humanizing herself," Cuban said. "I mean, it's horrible to say for a presidential candidate we're talking about humanizing, right, but they made her, you know, not human. They demonized her so bad with, you know, 'Killary,' and all this name-calling that she has got, if she has any hope of accomplishing anything, if she wins, she is going to have to get out there and really connect."
