Jerry Nadler, such a great, wonderful man. Why? He spent his day with his wife

who was undergoing cancer treatment during such important times for our Nation. Nough said. So, he shows up tonight on the news channels after such a day, to step up to his responsibilities, even during difficult times today with his family. Jerry, you are beautiful.

Mega love to all the men that fight against the prevailing winds of misogyny and objectification.

You know what? ... Nadler is the perfect definition of a man who would never put his personal weighty situation on the rest of us. Suffering is not a sport, we all are players.

Yes, The Honorable Congressman Nadler deserves a lot of credit for his actions. Both for his wife to whom I join the well-wishers and to his high office.

It is a shame that so many repugnant members of Congress cannot follow his example.

And my respect for him continues to build. I don’t know how he does it, and am grateful for his efforts.

Love his intelligence and command of facts with blunt honesty and directness. Susan Collins exhibits exact opposite with her whiny lack of character.

These will be some tough times for the Nadlers and his decision is his to make. I am happy he chose the one that will leave him with little regret.

repukes quit to spend more time with their families, Dems just make time for their families.
