Why?
"Make America Great Again" is a tug at the heartstrings of nostalgia. The "America" that was "Great" means something to you and me, but people who were born after 1990 never experienced it, so there are no heartstrings to resonate, no greatness to experience "again."
Why do Tester and Manchin win? I don’t know either, but I’m guessing it’s 100% because they have made that “Clinton connection” that makes people feel special... It’s the ONLY answer for these two douchenozzles.
Maybe it's because, to millennials, they are the "again" that fits their specific nostalgia. Manchin was the Secretary of State for four years, and Governor for six years before becoming their Senator for six years. He's familiar to West Virginians; he's their known quantity. It's not that Manchin connects in a "feel your pain" kind of way, it's just that they cannot envision a West Virginia without Joe Manchin being there. He's a part of the landscape.
Tester is a different story. I don't know about Tester.
I think there is a lot more to say on this, but if we continue to blame fraud, voting machines, public schools, or whatever-—even if some is true-—we will lose elections because so far the 21st century is all about the heart.
I think that to appeal to millennials, the message has to become:
YOU Make America Great Again!
Republicans have to paint a picture that tells millennials that they are what's needed to make America great, and show millennials what their place is in a "Great America."
Whether it's the jobs that millennials will fill, or the causes that millennials care about, or the opportunities that millennials will create for their own future children, they need to know how they fit into the vision of what makes America great, and how their predecessors did fit into the great America we're trying to get back to.

No, it has to be “for a reason.”
WHY should you “make America Great Again?” If they don’t understand through education why that’s a good thing-—and they won’t-—then you better find a better argument as to NOW why making America great again is a GOOD thing, how it benefits therm.
I want to ask every illegal I see, in the grocery store, nail salon, doctor’s office (yes, they are EVERYWHERE, now)....
¿Quieres el país que dejaste o el país que soñaste? Entonces, no voten y no presionar por el socialismo.
I know, they’re not supposed to be voting, but we have seen evidence that they are.
They shouldn’t even be allowed to STAY, another month, if they’re here illegally.
I appreciate what POTUS is doing to stop the flow, but...as evidenced in our recent election, these folks are already effecting our election outcomes.
That sounds like a great idea. The only problem is I am not a Millennial .
