Election guru predicts shocking midterms 'wipeout' as all eyes turn to the Senate (Carville)
Daily Mail ^ | 1-18-26 | Lauren Acton-Taylor

Former Democratic strategist James Carville has predicted a 'wipeout' for Republicans at the 2026 midterms.

On Saturday, Carville forecast a startling loss for Republicans in the upcoming midterms, with Democrats managing to pick up a 'minimum' of 25 seats and likely regain control of the Senate.

'Frankly, it's going to be a wipeout,' Carville told Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday in America.

'Your viewers need to know that the Democrats are going to pick up at a minimum 25 seats, maybe as high as 45. In all likelihood, the Democrats will carry the Senate.'

I love it! This old loony corpse is literally never right! I will admit, as always, the democrats have the dykey lesbian vote, the cat-lady vote and the trans furry pothead gamer vote all locked up. Other than that their coalition isn’t what it used to be. The new generation doesn’t listen to 90 year old hippies. their time is (finally) over

I believe Carville said when Obama won they would control Congress for at-least 40 years

Right? Since when is snake head an “election guru”? That said, Trump is going to have to turn out his voters. Republicans can’t do it.

January. There’s still a chance for Republicans to change perceptions if they get moving.

Was he wearing his garbage can on his head when he said this, or does that come later? I wonder if he thinks that it makes him look like Darth Vader.

“January. There’s still a chance for Republicans to change perceptions if they get moving.”

That’s not the Republican party I know. Their typical response to a call to action is to disappear.

I don’t know about the prediction but a lot of Republican friends of mine think Trump is off the rails on Greenland and his handling of MN.

He’s “all hat and no cattle” as my Texas relatives say.

He’s a loud-mouthed fool whom the Democrats and media (same thing) parade around making loud predictions, which almost always turn out to be wrong.

Remember when he said this about Paula Jones’ claims that she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton:

“Drag a $100 bill through a trailer camp and there’s no telling what you will find.”

Wake up you pathetic RINOs. We realize you enjoy being compromised losers...and seem to like it. If you continue your ways, few will like the outcome. Darkness ahead???

Republicans probably won’t do great in the mid terms but Carville is hardly an election guru .
If the Dems actually run on their platform they will lose but I bet they just go 24/7 anti trump

We can't be sure until Dick Morris weighs in.

If the economy is booming by November, as widely expected, it will be a wipeout....for the demonrats.

Otherwise, all bets are off.

And Carville, an “election guru?” Blahahahah!

In every interview, there’s a wall of booze and wine bottles behind him.....drunk and insane!

If the Democrats win—it will be round the clock impeachments or Civil War. They would rather live in a fragmented, third world America, than under Trump.

The Car-vile CNN clip with the trash can on his head...

(don’t watch from the start so you miss comrade Van Jones being an a-hole)

And notice who is right there with him, a much younger Sucker Carlson. He’s gone straight downhill since then, but Car-vile hasn’t change one tiny bit.
