While we are bending ears, Trump """destroyed establishment Republicans on the right""" because he won the Republican primary.

Using your definition of "far left" and apparently "non-establishment," none of those types have come close to winning a Democratic primary and they are unlikely to do so in 2028 either. Most of those types don't have broad appeal outside of bright blue enclaves, which isn't enough to win a Democratic primary with as diverse a voter base as we have.
