[See NewsBusters for more.] All three morning shows on Tuesday noticed trouble on the horizon for Hillary Clinton, but made sure to calm the fears of Hillary supporters. They also ignored the idea that she’d be a weak general election candidate. Good Morning America’s Cecilia Vega parroted talking points from the Democratic frontrunner: “Hillary Clinton's campaign says her delegate lead is nearly insurmountable, but they are bracing for a loss in Wisconsin.” On CBS This Morning, Norah O’Donnell echoed, “Hillary Clinton's campaign manager is looking ahead,  saying in a memo that Clinton's overall lead will be hard to beat.” Reporter Nancy Cordes reassured, “Her campaign's new memo points out that Clinton has won 58 percent of the popular vote thus far and that Sanders would have to win roughly 60 percent of the vote in New York and three other big states to catch up.”
