Brian Fitzpatrick is from Democrat stronghold Lower Bucks County, Levittown, PA. He’s basically a Democrat at heart who had to register Republican to take over his brother Mike’s hard won Bucks County election successes and Mike’s Congressional seat but Brian’s fundamentals show him to be more in line with the enemy. He’s a Trump-hater who claims to be, … well, we don’t know his innermost secrets but his claims are not running parallel to his party. In 2018 Brian barely won over Scott Wallace, 51.9% to 49.1%, 152,461 to 141,577, a difference of 10,884 votes which is a 3.7% difference.  That’s a solid enough win in Bucks where Hillary beat Trump 50.4% to 49.6% but his older brother often received 75% of the votes and the Republicans ran Bucks County. Those days seem to be over.

Brian lost in Falls township 7,021 to 6,071, where Steve Santarsiero got 11.5% more votes at 7,828.

Brian lost in Lower Makefield 8,422 to 10,017, lost in Morrisville 2,049 to 1,309, Doylestown Borough 2,886 to 1,741, Bristol Borough,  2,106 to 1,635, Bristol Township 10,155 to 7,648, New Hope 1,013 to 457, Newtown Borough 816 to 614, Newtown Township 5,570 to 4,351, Tullytown 484 to 362, and Yardley Borough 905 to 633. The difference in those 11 districts which are 26% of the total districts show Brian lost by 9779 votes, 56.4% to 43.5%. 

Here’s Brian in his own words from his own webspace….October 8, 2016 from @Brianfitz…. “Donald Trump’s comments and actions are offensive and disgusting and they cannot be rationalized or ignored, regardless of context. Like the vast majority of residents in this district, I have been frustrated by this presidential campaign because neither candidate shares our values. This is why, as a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent and Federal Prosecutor, I have refused to endorse either candidate and reached the point that I cannot vote for either candidate.

While Stave Santarsiero has steadfastly refused to show any difference between himself and his party’s nominee – the voters of this district can count on me to demonstrate independence always, regardless of the consequences.

From where comes the idea that riding the fence is the best way to stand up for the principles in which you believe? That’s going to be Brian’s undoing in 2020 where Bucks is going to go against Trump once again and Brian will most likely lose to a principled Democrat unless Brian becomes a Friend of Trump and a real Republican who learns how to fight as a Republican, help Trump at the polls and win with Trump/Republican principles. Can he do that? Can a leopard change it’s spots?  No, of course not but Brian is not a leopard and he can change his character which will change his political beliefs. Brian can and should develop a correct moral strategy designed to re-assure people instead of tricking them. Why be half yourself and half something else just to win an election?

Why not let the Democrat change and try to become more Republican so Brian can be a proper Republican, stick to those principles, fight against the Democrats, against Pelosi and Schumer, help the Republicans, help president Trump and win on the basis of Make America Great Again? 

It worked for Trump who ran against both the Democrats and the Republicans. That’s the value of having a correct moral code instead of half of one. .
