I'm really, really worried about the Trump team, and I want people on the team who I think are adults who have judgment and won't do anything stupid.

Donald Trump's living in a different time, a time that is not a match for what Americans now believe about who our leaders should be.

You spend your time blaming the other for what's not getting done and you actually do a couple things, and then you switch to, Hey, let's instead compete about who gets the credit for what we just did. And that's a lot more fun.

Donald Trump, again and again, has praised Vladimir Putin and it's clear that he has business dealings with Russian oligarchs who are very connected to Putin.

The lessons of history show - and I'm not talking about any particular history, all history - when you see minor abuses start to build up in the intolerance space and do nothing about them, then they lead to bigger and bigger abuses.

As much as we may have to battle against a Trump presidency, there's still good relationships within the Senate, bipartisan relationships where we can work together.

I think you should live your moral values. But the last thing, the very last thing that government should do is have laws that would punish women who make reproductive choices. And that is the fundamental difference between a Clinton-Kaine ticket and a Trump- Pence ticket that wants to punish women who make that choice.

If you think of big, legislative accomplishments, most of them kind of get initiated with the president putting something out there and Congress working on it.

I'm not going to be anybody's punching bag.
Tim Kaine

I think we need to fight against Trumpism in the courts, we need to fight at the ballot box and online, and we need to do peaceful protesting. We need to use every lever at our disposal to make sure that the president doesn't hurt our country, our values, and our people.

You build the bonds through the community and police force, build bonds of understanding, and then when people feel comfortable in their communities, that gap between the police and the communities they serve narrows. And when that gap narrows, it's safer for the communities and it's safer for the police.

I ask the GOP leaders also to stand up for the integrity of the American electoral process.

Despair is a natural emotion.

If somebody comes before me and I think that they will do a good job in fulfilling the mission - even if I might not have nominated them - if I think they're gonna do a good job, I vote for 'em.

The national security issues are very important for two reasons. First, because everybody knows that we want to be safe. But, secondly, people see these issues as probably the clearest window into somebody's temperament, their judgment, whether they're steady or volatile.

Hillary Clinton is the secretary of state who knows how to build alliances. She built the sanctions regime around the world that stopped the Iranian nuclear weapons program. And that's what an intelligence surge means, better skill and capacity, but also about our alliances.

Most evil in the world is only partly because of an evil person. Most of it is because of the complicity of bystanders.
