Politically, the closest the Democrats ever came was if Jesse Jackson had been the nominee in 1988, at least in terms of the fact that many Democrats would have endorsed Bush or refused to endorse Jackson.
Also George Wallace in 1972, who is a better analogue for Trump politically.
A more recent example would have been Al Sharpton in 2004. Of course, Sharpton, rightfully, never came anywhere close to winning the nomination.
