And think you've done a better job that Lawrence O'Donnell advancing the right message.

We have seen leaders, including FDR, Churchill, and JFK who have overcome illness and disabilities. All three of these people are person heros of mine.

The idea that Fetterman can overcome his challenges also resonates with me.

I hope people are of magnanimous mindsets and have expressed optimism that most Americans have had their own struggles or witnessed the grit of loved ones or family members and that ought to make Fetterman relatable.

Fetterman has been transparent. That's the right path IMO.

I'm wishing him the best, both electorially and with his ongoing recovery
