He is an American NOBLE MAN not a nobleman!! Thoughts and prayers for senator, his family, and our country. He cannot leave us now.

Senator John McCain is an American Hero and Patriot. I give him my Highest Level of Respect and I hope that he gets better soon. He is definitely a Fighter.

[daysgoby]

I respect him a lot.
Wish him the best.

[rezblade]

Mr McCain our prayers are in our hearts, you are a true trooper, trump has nothing to your candle sir . Stand tall and proud.

[juliethompson]

I wondered after the Comey testimony. Normally well spoken and direct, some of his questions weren't making sense. The diagnosis is devastating and politics aside, he is a real life American hero. Bless him and his family.

WE NEED YOU JOHN MCCAIN
YOUR A HERO AND YOUR AMERICA'S HERO
YOU'RE A FIGHTER WE ALL KNOW THAT.
YOUR GOING TO FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE...AGAIN...AND WIN AGAIN

[daniell]

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to you, John McCain. Politic aside, you are an American hero and a patriot.

[ty]

John, you might not have a lot of time left. Take the time to be a hero, speak the truth...

[whatho]

You could say John McCain is a throwback but he and Trump are pretty much the same age. Let's just say there are people with integrity and character and there are those without regardless of what generation you are from. Let's honor those that deserve it and not elevate those who do not. God bless the USA!

[kathleenhiggins]

This happened to my father to. All due to the poisons used by our government
during the war. Senator McCain went through more lethal horrors than what is all horror in wars anyway.
As John McCain,
my father stayed strong until what seemed like overnight. This tumor erupted.

God Bless you. This I believe is a given.

[monex]

He stayed in captivity when he could have left his men. He didnt. I may disagree with literally every single thing he says, but he has my unending respect for that act alone. Not many people wouldve done that. Trump certainly wouldnt have.

[Slewedleo]

The last good republican. A hero and a man of class. Hoping for his full recovery!

[LongTallTexan]

John Thomas, As you invoke the devil, be sure of your desire, so easily given is your soul!
I wish McCain all that God's Grace can heal, all the suffering it can lift, all the things this life still holds for him.

[loopslytle]

I may not have always agreed with Sen. McCain on some things, I never doubted his integrity or patriotism. He is a great American hero!

[claradavis]

God bless him John McCain is a true warriors senator John McCain have seen the mountain top ours heavenly father got his arms wraps around u senator McCain

[tygereyes]

John McCain is one of the good ones. I have not always agreed with him, but it is one of the old school representatives who has always put country first and has been a fighter though, like the old school politicians,  has been willing to reach across the aisle to get the job done. It is with great affection that I wish he and his loved ones all the best and strengthen in his fight to come. Blessed be...

[coryhofer]

i will say this....i'm not a republican, but i do respect John McCain. My grandfather served in WW2 as a sharpshooter. my grandpa fought for our country, but he never spoke a word to us about what he did. it changed him. what trump said about McCain after dodging the draft was inhumane. he never fought for our country, and McCain indured torture for 5 years. what does that say about our country now? there is nothing more precious than human life....I don't know if Trump will ever understand that, not having to watch your grandfather die of a disease he earned during the war

[backandstillbgmsdangerusda]

If he weren't a fighter, he wouldn't be with us today. I lived through the Vietnam War and I know what he, and his fellow prisoners of war, went through. Deadbeats, malign him all your ignorance will allow, but he's a hero. None of you would be able to live through what he did.

[stevenclark]

am not American but I know John McCain and his back story I wonder how that stuff trump said about him last year, trump said he prefers his heroes not to get caught bla bla bla, trump and his mouth that can't stop telling lies ....he did get my respect when he did correct that woman about what she said about Obama ...!

[discosecret]

No disrespect intended but it's ironic, that as a member of Congress, he is entitled to publicly funded health care.
