Trump is not winning the election with that idea. His core support comes from about 30% of Republican faithful who do love them some boondoggle of a wall. His main source of support comes from his opponents who are so bad they make Trump look good.

I do look forward the another four years of whining from you about that darn Democratic party President.
The only role the US should play in that hornet's nest is containment and cutting off funds by exerting pressure on banks and other tools used to finance that war by ISIS. And oh yes that is working. ISIS is contained and funds are drying up.It goes beyond "bad intelligence" at this point. We are holding ISIS's hand while they sneak oil into Turkey. I'll pull the published Russian satellite photos if you'd like further illustration. The US loves terrorists, Bay of Pigs anyone?
