Expect a major war before the end of his term. Presidents love to bank on reelection as "war-time presidents". It works out great for everyone except the taxpayers who pay for unnecessary warfare and the people being bombed.

I have long supported hitting ISIS hard, but aren't they already on the ropes?
Our potential ground invasion would appear to be a little johnny come lately.
Mosul is falling under Iraqi control, piece by piece. Raqqa is all that remains, but I do not support us occupying it.

Any ground the US would take, needs to be returned to and administered by its respective national government ASAP.
If we violate that principle then I would have to oppose us moving in. We would also have to be invited.
