Sen. Tim Kaine, speaking last night on the U.S. Senate floor as a vote looms on disastrous “Trumpcare” (whichever version is actually voted on; we don’t know at the moment, with just hours to go!): “This is about who we are as Americans…as thinking, feeling, breathing, believing human beings.” “We’ve got to do better not worse.” “I was sick and you took care of me…the teacher basically says the is the way you treat someone who is sick is the way you treat the Creator.” “This touches everyone; it touches the powerful, it touches the powerless; it touches the wealthy, it touches the poor; it touches men, it touches women; it touches the young, it touches the old; it touches everyone.” “We can’t afford to get this wrong.”
