VP Debate Post Thread

Governor Pence just said — Governor Pence just said that Donald Trump will rebuild the military. No, he won’t. Donald Trump is avoiding paying taxes. The New York Times story — and we need to get this — but the New York Times suggested that he probably didn’t pay taxes for about 18 years starting in 1995. Those years included the years of 9/11.

So get this. On 9/11, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s hometown was attacked by the worst terrorist attack in the history of the United States. Young men and women — young men and women signed up to serve in the military to fight terrorism. Hillary Clinton went to Washington to get funds to rebuild her city and protect first responders, but Donald Trump was fighting a very different fight. It was a fight to avoid paying taxes so that he wouldn’t support the fight against terror.

Can we talk about this line of reasoning from Kaine? Because it made me kind of hate him. This reads like a parody of something from circa 2002 when everyone was accusing each other of being unpatriotic. The wealthiest Americans not paying any taxes is a real problem, but it has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with 9/11.
