That would be nice. Sounds like a longshot however. I also have a bad feeling that any republican majority in the house and especially the senate would continue to play along with the narrative Ukraine good, Russia bad and not support any peace negotiations.
It is a long shot. But a coherent succession after Biden on Democrat terms is nearly impossible, so it will be an interesting time.
I also understand your bad feeling, but I do think it would be possible for Trump (as President) to start red-pilling the MAGA element about what is really going on in Ukraine. That and throwing the war-making decision in their laps. I think it would be a hot potato, but Congress has been shirking its responsibility for decades. Trump could take the position that "Unless you declare full, all-out war, as President, I am not going to countenance any hostilities or contribute to them."
