MSNBC's Donny Deutsch says he's 'really scared about a bloodbath' during midterm elections

MSNBC co-host Donny Deutsch said he was "really scared" that the midterm elections were going to turn out to be a "bloodbath" for Democrats.

Deutsch made the comments on "Morning Joe" Thursday as more polls showed Democrats were likely to lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives to Republicans while some were even predicting the fall of the Senate. They were discussing how economic troubles are pushing more people against Democrats.

"And then you see a woman who's raising four kids on 400 bucks a week, and you go, 'nothing else matters to her,' there's no argument other than, other than, 'guess what we're going to figure out a way to make bread more affordable to you, I mean, you know when its about survival, when it's about these issues, that they can't live," Deutsch said.

"And you can scare them and say, 'it could get worse, they could take your healthcare away,' I mean that's a strategy to go but you know, if she is representative of a big part of the populace and she is, and now let's even factor in people who have seen their IRAs, not a woman like that necessarily, but who have seen their IRAs going down by 20%-25%, it's really tough and I've come on this show and talked a lot about it that you got to scare people about the Republicans that are crazy people.

"But even when the pending crazy when you can't afford to buy the stuff that were you able to buy a year or two or three years ago, it's tough tough sledding," Deutsch said.

"I hate to be a negative ninny over here," he concluded. "But I am really scared about a bloodbath in ten days from now."

Deutsch's fears were mirrored by many on the left, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has cast aspersions on polling showing a resurgence of support for Republicans.
