I think the reason that drones have become so controversial is because they’re used in Pakistan; they’re used in Yemen; they’ve been used in all kinds of places. – Tim Kaine
I kind of struggled as a 10-year-old to make out what it meant that Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were killed within two months of each other. I think I was 14 when Watergate happened and a president was impeached. So between my birth and age 14, I just saw a lot of turmoil. – Tim Kaine
I think if you run away from who you are, that you’re a Democrat and you’re proud to be a Democrat, it’s foolish. And the reason it’s foolish is you’ve got a lot to be proud of. – Tim Kaine
If you want a senator who’ll partner with the president to do what’s best for the nation, I’m your guy. – Tim Kaine
We had a motto in my school: ‘Men for Others.’ And it was there that my faith became something vital. My north star for orienting my life. And when I left high school, I knew that I wanted to battle for social justice. – Tim Kaine
As much as the constitutional argument matters to me, what really matters to me is this sort of moral question of can we order somebody to risk their lives about a military mission if we’re not willing to debate, vote, and say that the military mission matters? – Tim Kaine
If you ask people, ‘What do you think, should we kick kids off their family insurance policy in that 21- to 26-year-old age range?’ You go through those… provisions that are already affecting the everyday lives of Americans, and people don’t want to get rid of them. – Tim Kaine
The research clearly demonstrates high-quality early childhood opportunities help children succeed. – Tim Kaine
Let me let you in on a secret. I do plan to be on the podium with President Clinton when she’s inaugurated in January 2017 – but I’m going to be sitting with the senators. – Tim Kaine
What ‘listo’ means in Spanish is this: it means prepared, it means battle-tested, it means rock solid, up for anything, never backing down. And, friends, Hillary Clinton, she is listo! – Tim Kaine
I have a moral position against the death penalty. But I took an oath of office to uphold it. Following an oath of office is also a moral obligation. – Tim Kaine
When I hear Donald Trump say the American military is a disaster, I want to go through the screen and shake the guy. We ought to have a commander in chief who talks about our troops with respect and gratitude. – Tim Kaine
It seemed to me to be entirely un-kosher, if that’s a word, to try to put a debate about war right in front of the midterm to try to affect the midterm outcomes. – Tim Kaine
Whatever your religious tradition is, if it’s important to you and you don’t feel comfortable talking about it, you end up coming across as insincere. – Tim Kaine
I’ve been a city councilman and mayor. I’ve been a lieutenant governor and governor and now, in the Senate, serve on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committee. So I’m a utility player. I just want to do everything I can to make sure A) we win and that B) the presidency of Hillary Clinton is fantastic. – Tim Kaine
People will pay a price for putting political obstruction over progress in a time that is so critical and urgent. – Tim Kaine
A drone isn’t any different than a bomb; it’s not any different than other weapons that are used, where there is always a capacity for people to be killed who you wished were not. It’s just the weapons platform. – Tim Kaine
I was a hard-times governor. I had to steer my state through the deepest recession since the 1930s. But hey, tough times don’t last and tough people do. And can I tell you that Virginians are tough people? We are tough people. – Tim Kaine
I was a brand new senator in 2013. And the idiocy of Congress was to shut the government down for two weeks in October. And coming out of that, the pressure was put on the budget chair, Paul Ryan’s shoulders and Patty Murray. Conservative Wisconsin Republican, progressive Washington Democrat, come up with a budget deal. – Tim Kaine
I was the governor that drew a tough, tough straw. I was governor during the worst recession since the 1930s, and I had to cut $5 billion from the state budget. – Tim Kaine
