On Wednesday, NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning agreed that the Republican primary race was “over” and openly mocked Donald Trump’s opponents. On Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie asked: “So Trump is calling himself the presumptive nominee. Is he right, is this over?” Political analyst Nicolle Wallace relied on pop culture to declare an end to the nomination contest: “Yeah, there’s a line in Sex and the City where Carrie says to Mr. Big, ‘It's so over, we need a new word for over’...”

Fellow co-host Matt Lauer wondered if Republican members of Congress were ready to “wake up and put the Trump bumper sticker on your car.” MSNBC host Steve Kornacki noted that “there are still some sort of dead-enders out there” supporting Ted Cruz or John Kasich, but assured viewers that Trump “might go in and win and really just sweep this thing.”
