    I don’t believe that the party of any sitting president that was primaried ever won the election.

    Probably because the party was already in a really weak position in the first place, which led to both the nominee getting primaried and the party still losing the general anyway. Like, if someone has a massive coronary and ends up dying during emergency heart surgery you’re probably not going to blame the surgery for killing them.
