More quotes by Tim Kaine
When I was running for governor, I was attacked pretty strongly because of my position on the death penalty. But I looked the voters of Virginia in the eye and said, look, this is my religion. I'm not going to change my religious practice to get one vote, but I know how to take an oath and uphold the law. And if you elect me, I will uphold the law.

Midterm elections for first-term presidents are notoriously difficult.

Here's what people should look at as they look at a public servant. Do they have a passion in their life that showed up before they were in public life? And have they held onto that passion throughout their life, regardless of whether they were in office or not, succeeding or failing?

I was a Democratic governor with two Republican houses.

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.

I accept the teachings of my own church in terms of how I live, how my wife and I live, what we teach our kids. But I don't think the teachings of my church are such that I should legislate that for everybody else.

I'm very, very serious about my Catholicism and Hillary Clinton views that as a real asset. And we've talked about our faith lives, as she asked me to be on the ticket with her.
Tim Kaine
I am proud of Hillary Clinton because she has been and is a great history maker - in everything she has done.
Tim Kaine
Almost always, executive orders are within an authority and always within the purview of Congress to change if they want to legislatively change it.

Donald Trump started this campaign in 2014 he said if I run for president I'll absolutely release my taxes.
Tim Kaine
I think if you do term limits, you would really increase the power of lobbying.

My sense is that economic anxiety means electoral volatility.
Tim Kaine
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.

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. Hillary Clinton knows exactly who this guy is. John McCain said, I look in his eyes and I see KGB. And Hillary kind of has that same feeling.
