MAGA fanatic Lance Wallnau said President Trump recently asked a group of evangelicals visiting the White House to ‘pray for the midterms,’ prompting the former executive director of the Christian Coalition, Ralph Reed, to insist that the Republican Party is facing a possible “bloodbath.”
Reed, a longtime Christian nationalist and political heavyweight in evangelical circles, urged conservative Christians to turn out to vote in high numbers and organize effectively.
He warned that without better organization and focus on the right, Republicans could suffer very heavy losses while the left is highly mobilized and ‘will crawl on glass to get [Trump] out.’

(Incidentally, the “bloodbath” language is clearly about electoral losses, not literal violence, though it sits in a broader context where apocalyptic and martial metaphors are common in this movement’s rhetoric.)
For starters, has Trump led like a good Christian?
As a Bible-believing Christian myself, I’m not convinced he has.
And many Christian writers and even some evangelical leaders have argued that Trump’s conduct in his second term—and in his entire life—conflicts with core Christian teachings on humility, truthfulness, and care for the vulnerable.
Consider the actions of ICE, Trump’s threats to steal Greenland from Denmark, his immature bickering about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, his aggressive actions in Venezuela, his incessant international bullying, and his refusal to follow through on his promise to grant a full release of the Epstein files.
And what about Trump-backed economic policies that cut safety‑net programs for low-income people while delivering disproportionately large tax benefits to high earners and the wealthy?
Would Jesus cut programs for the poor while lining the pockets of billionaires?
The combination of these factors—surging grocery bills, the presumed impending recession, growing unemployment, an additional 11 million Americans without health insurance, and overall American sentiment about the direction of the country—makes it easy to see why some evangelicals might not be energized to vote for a candidate with an “R” next to their name in 2026. Granted, those disenchanted folks aren’t likely to jump ship and support Democrats either; they simply won’t vote.
Incidentally, we published this a few days ago: TRUMP, TAKE HEED: Blue-collar workers are beginning to lose patience with the president.
Prediction: Republicans are indeed headed for a bloodbath in the 2026 midterms. Following that, expect chatter about a third Trump term to come to an end.
For good.
