Top 6 One-Liners Of The Vice Presidential Debate, Mostly From Tim Kaine (VIDEO)

Last night, the vice presidential candidates faced off in the Vice Presidential debate. It was not quite as exciting as the presidential debate, but it had its moments. Here are the top 10 one-liners that the candidates got in. Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine got in a lot of one-liners against Republican vice presidential nominee.

1. “That Mexican Thing”

During the discussion of immigration, Pence got annoyed with Kaine and said:

“You whipped out that Mexican thing again.”

He was referring to Trump’s opening campaign speech when he called Mexicans drug dealers are rapists.

2. Abortion

In one segment of the debate on “social issues,” the topic of abortion came up. Mike Pence is very much against abortion. Kaine said:

“Why don’t you trust women to make this choice? Why doesn’t Donald Trump trust women to make this choice for themselves?”

3. Putin

Naturally, the topic of Russia came up. They were talking about the remarks that Trump has made about Russian President Vladimir Putin being a “great leader.”

Kaine said:

Putin is a dictator, not leader, anybody who thinks otherwise doesn’t know Russian history.”

4. Trump Admires Dictators

Kaine had a line about Trump’s admiration of dictators. He said:

“Trump has a personal Mt. Rushmore, including Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and Saddam Hussein.”

5. Leaders

Tim Kaine had another line about the possibility of Trump being president. He said:

“You can’t have somebody at the top who demeans everybody he talks about.”

6. Trump’s Taxes

This week, we got a glimpse of Trump’s taxes with a leaked 1995 tax return. Using a legal loophole, Trump could’ve potentially avoiding paying taxes for up to 18 years. Kaine said this about Trump’s “I’m smart” comment:

“So it’s smart not to pay for our military, it’s smart not to pay for veterans, it’s smart not to pay for teachers, I guess all of us who do pay for those things, I guess we’re stupid.”

When confronted about not paying taxes, Trump said it makes him smart.
