You're right about it being rare, but there is precedent.
That's true. I'd admit William Jennings Bryan as well, though you seem to have read that as 'a sitting president who lost'. I'll enjoy media heads explode when they say that Trump is the first president since Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive terms.
Same basic setup too. Serve 4 years. Lose to a guy who proceeds to run the economy into the ground. Run again against the now-incumbent he'd lost to. Win.
Ah, such a shame that other guy didn't have the foresight to just have 91 indictments issued against Cleveland.
