Your theory of why Obama’s party lost seats downballot during his run
in the White House should account for the fact that the same thing happened
under Eisenhower, Kennedy/Johnson, Nixon/Ford, Reagan/Bush, Clinton, and W Bush.

Perhaps each incumbent party spontaneously adopted a failed business model that their charismatic leader was unable to surmount.
Or perhaps maybe it’s structural.
But either way, it deserves an explicit theory.
