Mark Cuban left open the possibility of running for president, telling CNBC, "We'll see."

Cuban told CNBC's Scott Wapner that some things would need to happen for him to be motivated to run and if he did, it would be as an independent.

"We'll see what happens. It would take the perfect storm for me to do it," he said.

When asked who on the Democratic side has the best chance of winning Cuban said "nobody right now." "If you look at the why people voted for Donald Trump, in my opinion, first and foremost it was because he wasn't a politician."

Cuban said the array of Democratic candidates so far are all politicians.  "Politicians are the least trusted of every profession," he expounded. 

"There's nobody that really stands out even though Biden is leading the poles. I like Vice President Biden I think hes smart and he could do a decent job but I think its way too early to tell," Cuban said. 

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
