Adios, Think Progress
2019-09-08
[POWERLINEBLOG] The site has also faced criticism that it has tailored its reporting to demands from the Center for American Progress, which receives funding from wealthy liberal donors and some foreign governments.

CAP’s affiliation with Bill and Hillary Clinton has also been a sore spot for the think tank and ThinkProgress. John Podesta, the Hillary Clinton campaign chairman and Bill Clinton’s White House chief of staff, founded CAP in 2003. Neera Tanden, a former Clinton White House aide and longtime Clinton booster, is president of the think tank.

Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign showed that Judd Legum, the founder of ThinkProgress, provided the Clinton campaign with strategies on how to go after Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

These days, Bill and Hillary are politicians without a party. The Democrats have moved on, farther to the left. The demise of Think Progress is perhaps a consequence of that shift.

#1  These days, Bill and Hillary are politicians without a party. The Democrats have moved on, farther to the left. The demise of Think Progress is perhaps a consequence of that shift.
It is also a geographic shift where the Democratic party openly discards all of the "Deplorables" and white subhumans living in Flyover Countryâ„¢. Bill Clinton tried to appeal to them and won -- but the Party apparatchiks have purged his faction since then. The opening moves of this realignment were clear were clear back in 1973 after the embarrassing collapse of the McGovern Campaign.
