Nope. If you're looking to end drone strikes before the 2020 race, you're SOL. There was only one candidate who opposed warrant-less drone assassinations, and he just withdrew from the race (Chafee).
Rand Paul did filibuster Brennan's nomination on this exact issue, but he has since watered down his stance to the point where it's basically unrecognizable.
The other candidates range from lukewarm support ("we should do this, but only rarely") to enthusiastic support, to the ones who actually carried out and executed the drone strike program (Clinton).
