Maybe 15% of GOP voters, those being true Trumpy Fanboys, want the wall, for who knows what reasons. It's probably some kind of expression of racism. The rest couldn't give a rat's ass, or could take the wall with a cup of coffee. Really, this is a ginned up issue in which few people have a genuine interest. Trumpy got a lot of mileage on this issue during his rallies, but now, no one really cares. But they WILL care when the more realistic appraisal of the cost of the Wall is announced. It should be around 25-35 BILLION, without significant cost overruns (and there WILL be significant cost overruns). That can pay for a lot of Meals on Wheels, with a strong national mental health program and a good start on infrastructure thrown in for good measure.
