Do you really think that we can eliminate terrorism by eliminating the current crop of terrorists? Isn't that a bit like saying that you can end war by defeating the current enemy? Terrorism existed before radical Islam adopted it, and it will exist after radical Islam has faded into history. We need to define our enemy. If we choose to fight a war on "terrorism", we lose: terrorism is a tactic, not an actor. If we choose to fight a war against those particular groups of terrorists that directly threaten us, we can win, if we're smart. So far we've not been terribly smart, and neither candidate has given any suggestion that we are likely to get any smarter any time soon.
