Dino was not comparing Trump to Manson--beyond the point both are Washington outsiders, as are most of the people in this forum.

He was arguing that the "outsider" criterion is broad and inadequate, by indicating that 
someone whom even most Trumpsters would reject could meet the standard.

If the criterion is "businessman", then Trump trumps him, of course. Trump may not be a great businessmen (and great businessmen have made very bad presidents in the past), but I agree he is likely a better businessman than Manson.


But if outsider is the criterion, then Manson's outsider status is every bit as "perfect" as Trump's.
Which well illustrates what a lousy criterion it is.
