After Hillary Clinton lost yet another primary contest to Bernie Sanders in Oregon on Tuesday, Wednesday’s network morning shows began sounding the alarm that he could damage her chances in the general election and lamented that the socialist senator was “not going away.”

On NBC’s Today, correspondent Kristen Welker declared: “The Democrats are as divided as ever this morning....All of this complicating Clinton's efforts to try to focus on the fight against Donald Trump.” She noted Clinton “is trying to put Bernie Sanders away,” but worried that “the Vermont senator is refusing to go quietly....even though the Democratic nomination is likely mathematically out of reach.”
