They do. Polling results based on generational definitions show Millennial adults least receptive to Trump. Trump offers them nothing.
On the other hand, given actions of Antifa and Hillary's latest comments. Currently the Dims sound like a bank robber holding somebody hostage until they get what they want. Can't imagine that is making a really good impression on the Millies.
Millennials are still waiting for a political party that truly speaks to them, IMO. The closest was the brief period when there was a chance that Bernie Sanders would be the Democratic Presidential nominee. I remember overhearing one young man on the street say about Bernie, "He's not President yet.." with what sounded to me like a very naive youthful optimism. I didn't personally think Sanders was a good choice for President but he was the first candidate to excite the Millennial generation, and he was the reason it is easy to think of the Millennials as the impetus behind the "blue wave" that is always just coming in the next election.
Wishful thinking is just that -- wishful. When the hive-mind finally focuses on politics, it will create change. We others are not likely to alter that one iota. So far, it isn't obvious to them that they are drowning. When they get the message -- Katy bar the door!
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
