Maybe it doesn't count, but LBJ dropped out of the presidential race in late March 1968, a few weeks after the New Hampshire primary but before the DNC.
Sorry the section you quoted was a little unclear - I agree none of the candidates being discussed widely are too left-wing. I think it’s part of the reason some people you might think of as possible candidates (Elizabeth Warren maybe) haven’t been discussed, though.

Yeah, that's a good point of comparison! (I didn't mention it because he wasn't the presumptive nominee at that point.)
You raise some great points!
