James Carville Would ‘Bet Money’ Dems Win Presidency In 2028, Pack Supreme Court
Trending Politics ^ | 11/6/2025 | Cullen McCue

Posted on 11/07/2025 8:59:45 AM PST by Signalman

Emboldened by Tuesday’s encouraging election results, veteran political strategist James Carville said he would “bet money” that Democrats will not only win the presidency in 2028, but then proceed to pack the Supreme Court to ensure permanent one party rule.

While taking questions during Thursday’s installment of he and co-host Al Hunt’s “Politics War Room,” one listener asked how the Biden Administration could have prepared for “the possibility of Trump winning a second term.”

While Hunt argued in favor of new legislation and guardrails, Carville gleefully predicted that the next Democrat president will fundamentally redefine American government.

“I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen. A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that,” he said. “The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court.”

“They’re going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. That’s going to happen, people. That’s going to happen to you. They’re going to win. They’re going to do some blue ribbon panel of distinguished jurists, and they are going to recommend 13, and a Democratic Senate and House is going to pass it, and the Democratic president is going to sign it, because they have to do an intervention so we can have a Supreme Court that the American people trust again.”

The ex-Clinton strategist went on to declare that he would “bet a-lot of money that’s what’s going to happen. A-lot.”

Carville previously conceded back in January that his predictions on the 2024 election were wrong after repeatedly predicting that former Vice President Kamala Harris would win in 2024.

“I thought Kamala Harris would win. I was wrong. While I’m sure we Democrats can argue that the loss wasn’t a landslide or take a little solace in our House performance, the most important thing for us now is to face that we were wrong and take action on the prevailing ‘why,’” Carville wrote.

Trump is too much talk and not enough actual doing and it’s the GOP that always stands in the way.

This is how the GOP will get its way.
They will lose.

The swamp.

That would be how things historically go, not a surprise prediction by any means.

Let’s hope that between now and then the islamist/Marxist of NYC will screw up that city bad enough that even the most useful idiots will see it.

We should pack the Supreme Court NOW.

Or negotiate a truce while we have the upper hand.

After Obama’s 2008 victory, he wrote a book called “40 More Years.” It didn’t work out that way.

You would see many states consider leaving the union. The National Divorce.

I agree but it’s not the dem agenda, it’s the WEF agenda and the republicans are part of it. The republicans blew it big time. Every damn time they get control, they sit on their asses and play dumb. This country is gone. Just watch how they will ramp up their efforts to remove our gun rights next year plus bring in digital id. You can see the same events happen in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan. God help us!

I can’t imagine the level of hate and revenge Democrats would bring if they gained the Presidency in January 2029

The borders would be opened even wider. The DOJ would go full Gestapo
It would be full-on leftist revenge and massive social engineering.

><

You are absolutely right about that. And that is only a small amount of what they’d do. They’d make Stalin, Hitler and Mao envious.

WTF happened to “muh democracy”?!

One party rule is NOT democracy by any stretch of the imagination.

This cannot be taken lightly. There is an army of evil scheming to permanently destroy the USA. Don’t assume NY and California are outliers. Pray and prepare.

You’re absolutely right. We’re in for increasingly serious and dangerous dangerous times.

We are facing pure, unadulterated Evil that wants us totally eliminated.

Sure it is, you can vote for whomever you want, as long as they are a Democrat.

Isn’t Serpent Head pretty much always wrong?

Just the possibility that he might be right should scare the hell out of people.

End result would be Civil War, not like the weak and ineffective pussy parade like we’re seeing from the left now, but an actual war.

At least I think so.

Too many diehard MAGA folks to let them turn America communist.

This last election looked real bad for Republicans. The Gen Z female vote was awful. Not a good cloud on the horizon. Does not mean we have to go through it but the party has too many self interested people who do not fear the party bosses. Unlike the Democrats who will take you out if you don’t tow the line.

If I had my way I would end the filibuster, end mail in voting, initiate same day voting and impose retroactive term limits. Clean the whole place out.

If it wasn’t for Manchin saving the filibuster the SC would be gone. They already had the so called panel and had the hacks ready to go. The GOP would do well to remember that when they toy with killing the filibuster.


Manchin *and* Sinema. Both voted against killing the filibuster against enormous pressure from the far left Democratic base.

Both have been purged from the Democratic Party.

If that happens, or should I say , when that happens, the US will be done. It will happen at some point. We are almost to the beginning of the actual end times. And the Bible tells us that ALL nations will turn against Israel. That includes us. Since we know the Bible is true, we know the US is going to, at some point, turn against everything that’s right, and become completely evil. I shudder to think what it’s going to be like, especially after all Christians are gone from the Earth. The chaos and evil we are seeing now can’t hold a candle to what we will see then. It’s terrifying.

Not if they ever get control of our ability to control our own finances and the use of those finances.
