NOW THIS IS SERIOUS!!

I found this on Facebook, and had to share. Evidently, the county GOP is has NOT learned it's lessons after Claire Risoldi, or the fiasco in Southampton, and continues to practice its sinful and corrupt ways. Check out this post below, and see just what I mean.

I have nothing against the Bucks GOP leadership; I’ve worked with them before and I’d be happy to do so again. However, in my opinion they’ve gotten it very WRONG in the upcoming judicial primary elections with respect to two highly qualified and deserving candidates: REBECCA WARREN for Superior Court and GARY GAMBARDELLA for Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. I see three (3) main problems.

(1) The party has repeatedly referred to publicly elected positions as something that it “gives” to candidates of its choosing. Public offices belong to the people, and the officials who run are elected to serve the people, not the party leadership.

(2) I’m told that one of the three endorsed Republican Common Pleas candidates recently changed his party from being a life-long Democrat, not to #WalkAway after having seen the light, but rather, for political opportunism, in coordination with the promise of a sizable financial contribution to the party. This feels like an absolute slap in the face to loyal Republicans who stuck with the party through thick and thin. I’ll take GARY GAMBARDELLA, who is a former criminal prosecutor and life-long Republican, over a FORMER DEMOCRAT, any day.

(3) I’m told the party has browbeaten and tacitly threatened committee people and execs with job loss if they support REBECCA WARREN or GARY GAMBARDELLA. They also recently circulated an anonymous letter supposedly from a Gambardella supporter accusing the Party Vice-Chair of making anti-Italian slurs. It’s a completely a bizarre way to try to discredit a candidate and I don’t fully understand it. In any event, these Machiavellian tactics should have no place in our political process.

The County GOP bylaws require that committee people do two (2) things: first, they must circulate the “official sample ballot” in the primary; and second, they must support the party’s primary winner in the general election. Committee people CAN however, promote a non-endorsed Republican candidate of their choosing during the primary, as long as they also hand out the “official sample ballot.” All browbeating aside, this is what the rules require—nothing more, and nothing less.

I do not believe the party should endorse any candidates during the primary —endorsed versus un-endorsed means nothing to me, I only see qualified versus unqualified, and conservative versus non-conservative. In 2020, we need to present a united front in an all-out effort to get President Trump elected to a second term, and all Republicans need to put our differences aside to accomplish this objective.

Committee people need to understand these rules, and most importantly, they need to have the courage to stand upon their convictions. Without courage, the entire political process is a sham. Judges do matter.
