A Democrat could run for the Democratic nomination against an incumbent Democratic President. This happened in 1980 , for example, when Ted Kennedy ran against President Carter. A democrat would not run on the same party lines as another Democrat since the Democratic party can only nominate one candidate themselves. So a third party could nominate a Democrat to run for president if that Democrat lost the Democratic nomination to someone else.
Robert Kennedy seemed to have almost a lock on the Democratic nomination in 1968 when he was killed.
