Eric Boehlert blamed libs for failing to “support infrastructure” like ThinkProgress which shut down yesterday:
liberal/Dem inability to support infrastructure like this is a crime, esp considering the $$$$ that pours into conservative coffers https://t.co/zUOH2RCgl9

And here’s a reminder that libs keep throwing money at lost causes when just a fraction of that would support the infrastructure he wants to see built:
just a thought, but maybe the left should’ve directed some of the combined $163,000,000 it wasted on the failed candidacies of Alison Lundergan Grimes ($20M), Jon Ossoff ($23M), Wendy Davis ($40M), and Beto O’Rourke ($80M) toward keeping progressive media entities afloat. https://t.co/wA4eUhmHCF

Well, at the time, Boehlert was promoting those “failed candidates,” HARD.
As in, Alison Grimes was winning:

And Jon Ossoff was winning:
best part is if GOP sends Trump to Ga., the Ossoff lead jumps to 15 pts https://t.co/F3WF9JZWXN

And Wendy Davis did so well that now she’s a national figure:
congrats to Wendy Davis; Gov Perry helps elevate her to a national TX figure this week; http://t.co/slU0Iwx1fk #AnnRichardsissmiling

And Beto was winning, too:

What a clown:
you could hire a lotttttttt of progressive oppo researchers, journalists, and commentators with just a fraction of the money that was lit on fire for people like Beto and Ossoff.

nah, never mind. that would be too prudent a financial decision. McConnell is the bad man, so let’s flush $20M dollars directly down the toilet on Grimes’ no-hope candidacy.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) September 6, 2019
and man, did you see that? beto just did a hecka skateboard in a parking lot. here’s $80,000,000, my good man. don’t spend it all in one race i mean place!

perhaps they should put some $$ toward necessary but non-sexy projects like rescuing the DNC offices in South Dakota, a state where they had Senate representation as recently as 2015
orrrrrrrr
they can keep throwing $$ at media-hyped bullshit, like the lady with pink shoes.
