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."
