'Old-timers' is an insult to the many Dems who applauded HRC's platform.
Those 'old-timey' dems obviously came out to vote for Cortez last night.
Why would you insult them today?

They liked what she said. They liked what HRC said also.
Just wondering who wrote Cortez's resounding campaign platform?
