Tim Kaine: Trump is too ‘emotionally volatile, fact-challenged, self-obsessed’ to be commander in chief

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Hillary Clinton's vice-presidential running mate Sen. Tim Kaine sharply criticized Donald Trump for taking myriad contradictory positions on foreign policy issues and said that he lacked a basic knowledge of the issues at hand in a speech here Tuesday afternoon.

"The prospect of the emotionally volatile, fact-challenged, self-obsessed and inexperienced Donald Trump as commander in chief scares me to death," Kaine said at the Hannah S. Block Historic USO Building in downtown Wilmington to an invitation-only crowd that included some military veterans.

Kaine's comments come a day before Clinton and Trump are expected to appear Wednesday night at a televised commander in chief forum.

Ahead of their appearances, Kaine sought to paint Trump as both deceptive about his positions on key issues and inexperienced on the world stage.

Kaine's remarks were part denunciation, part fact-checking. And they served as a preview of new lines of response and attack that Clinton might deliver at the forum.
