Well, folks, looks like we’re gearing up for another election next year. Crazy, right? Now, don’t get too excited ’cause it could very well be a deja vu situation with Mr. Donald Trump getting the Republican nomination for the third time in a row. Yawn.

But wait! There’s more! We’ve got ourselves an electoral college that could magically favor the GOP and give Trump the presidency even if he doesn’t get the popular vote. Hocus pocus, am I right? And let’s not forget about good ole’ Joe Biden’s approval rating hovering around a lukewarm 43 percent. Not exactly rock star numbers compared to past presidents that won re-election.

Now, let’s talk economy. Things might tank between now and next November (fingers crossed, they don’t though, ’cause we all know how much we love a good depression, right?). And if a downturn does occur, Biden’s left holding the bag for the highest inflation rate since the ’80s. Oopsie.

Oh, and one more thing, Biden will be 81 years old come next year which means he’ll be the oldest president to ever run for re-election. That my friends is what we call a real risk factor. He may end up needing a walker to get around before it’s all said and done.

Now, if you think Biden ain’t got nothing going for him, think again. Unemployment is low (woohoo!), and there’s been some real economic growth under his watch (score!). Plus, he’s got legislative accomplishments to brag about. And with no serious challengers for the Democratic nomination, things are looking up for ol’ Joe.

But let’s get real here, folks. The Republican Party has just plain gotten weird. Need I say more?
