Tim Kaine Thinking Quotations

Do you want a you're hired president in Hillary Clinton or a you're fired president in Donald Trump? I don't think that's such a hard choice.

It is so painful to suggest that we go back to think about these days where an African-American could not be a citizen of the United States.

For anybody whose family, you know, probably came from somewhere else a few generations to say, OK, but now we're going to put up the drawbridge and not let anybody else in, I don't think that's in accord with the values of America.

The Trump plan is a different plan. It's a you're fired plan. And there's two key elements to it. First, Donald Trump said wages are too high. And both Donald Trump and Mike Pence think we ought to eliminate the federal minimum wage.

I think you should live your moral values, but the last thing, the very last thing, the government should do is have laws that would punish women who make reproductive choices.

I think it is really really important that those of us who have deep-faith lives don't feel like we could substitute our own views for everybody else in society regardless of their views.

Ronald Reagan said something really interesting about nuclear proliferation back in the 1980s. He said the problem with nuclear proliferation is some fool or maniac could trigger a catastrophic event and I think that Donald Trump is exactly who governor Reagan warned about.

Vladimir Putin is a dictator. He's not a leader. Anybody who thinks otherwise doesn't know Russian history and they don't know Vladimir Putin.

In terms of what Hillary Clinton, who's running for president, thinks about Catholics and the value more broadly of having a faith background, I can tell you she views at it as a plus, just as she views her own Methodism as a plus.

I think Donald Trump needs to be judged on his own words and his own behavior and the American voter is getting ample evidence on which they can make that judgment.

We all have opinions and I don't think you need to apologize for your opinions.

When I talk to people outside the beltway, I don't think people are that divided.

I think people are very focused on the economic issues. They want an economy that works for everybody.

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.

I think life is sacred, whether it's abortion or the death penalty.

I don't think that women should be punished as Donald Trump said they should, for making the decision to have an abortion.
