change comfort continuity cycle democrats good governor hurts level manager national people pick political somebody
I want someone with a national reputation. I want somebody who is a good manager of people and who is a change agent. I think the one-term governor hurts transportation more than anything else because if you change out secretaries of transportation and VDOT commissioners on a four-year cycle you just don't get the continuity you need on the transportation side. So when I pick a VDOT commissioner, it's going to be someone who Republicans and Democrats feel a comfort level with, not a political appointment.
efforts force good issue job list top
Probably the issue at top of their list was better work-force development. (Danville officials) feel like the state's efforts are kind of fragmented, and we need to do a better job of coordinating them. And I think that's a real good point.
fund money sure taken
Often, money is taken out of that fund for other projects. I'll make sure that stops.
batting votes
You're not going to have a 1.000 batting average, but the way you get votes is, you just push and you push. I'm not afraid to do that.
against matches shooting
You want to have a shooting contest? You want to go hiking? Give me a pocketknife and a set of matches and I'll go up against anybody,
daughter brother grief
Losing a son, losing a daughter, a brother, a sister, losing a close friend - it can go beyond grief to isolation and feeling despair.
despair emotion natural
Despair is a natural emotion.
believe leader different
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.
significant taxes
There are a series of connections between Donald Trump and his closest advisers and Russia that at least raise significant questions. Some of those questions could be answered if Donald Trump was willing to release his tax returns, but he's unwilling to do that.
clinton
I'm not a Hillary Clinton defender. I'm a Hillary Clinton promoter.
children teenager kids
Hillary Clinton is somebody who has had a passion for families and children since she was a kid, in a Methodist youth group as a teenager in the suburbs of Chicago.
children loss track
Hillary Clinton has a long track record of service in public life. And you can look at that. I tell the story about her being first lady of the United States, when the effort to get Hillary Clinton done failed, and that was a tough, tough, bitter loss, but then it tested her as a leader. And she worked together with Democrats and Republicans to get health insurance for eight million low-income American children in the CHIP program.
kids passion empowering
Hillary Clinton has that, a passion to empower families and kids, and a desire to measure health of society by how families and kids are doing. You can see this from her service as a lawyer, first lady of Arkansas, and United States senator, and secretary of state.
character window national-security
The national security issues are a really good window into the character of the person that somebody wants to have as commander in chief.
