Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine slammed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at Tuesday's vice presidential debate, saying the real estate billionaire has "dangerous ideas."
"He trash talks the military, the military is a disaster, John McCain's no hero, the generals need to all be fired, and 'I know more than them,'" Kaine said. "He wants to tear up alliances. NATO is obsolete and we'll only work together with Israel if they pay big league. Third, he loves dictators. He's got a personal Mount Rushmore: Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Moammar Gadhafi, and Saddam Hussein."
Trump has called the dictators strong leaders, though he has not expressed admiration for their actions.
"Did you work on that one a long time?" Trump's running mate Mike Pence replied. "Because that had a lot of creative lines in it."
"I'll see if you can defend any of it," Kaine said.
