The House looks like a lost cause.

We can’t blame the voters for everything. They are actually a bit smarter than we think.

Since 1934, only twice has the president’s party gained House seats in midterms.

• “In 2002, the Republicans picked up 10 seats — eight in the House and two in the Senate — while Bush was in the White House. The election was held a year after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the Republican president’s popularity surged amid the strong patriotic sentiment in the electorate.
• In 1998, the Democrats picked up five seats — all in the House — in Clinton’s second term, even as he faced impeachment hearings sought by Republicans amid the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
• In 1934, the Democrats picked up 18 seats — nine each in the House and Senate — while Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office and putting in place the New Deal to ease the impact of The Great Depression”.

Historians call this phenomenon as “Presidential Penalty”. I call it ‘American Smarts’.
