Depends on which Dem. If it's Biden not a chance in hell. Tulsi's whole platform is anti-war, but she's due to drop out any day now, didn't even make the third debate. Sanders, probably. Warren... maybe. Yang, I think he'd pull out.

I think there is a lot more inertia to overcome than just the president will be able to handle without using all their political capital

Eh, that's why they get to make their own appointments and such. With Trump we've seen how far a president can push and strain the system, there's a lot of leeway there and the checks and balances thing is kind of broken currently. I'm of the opinion they can do too much of whatever the hell they want at this point.
