Again surprising no one, news organizations literally aren’t wasting a minute pretending that Donald Trump isn’t going to win Indiana by a sizable margin. The very first results show Trump hovering around 54 percent of the vote, with Ted Cruz trailing around 33 percent.
Will the networks project #IndianaPrimary winners right when final polls close at 7pm? We're about to find out…

Of course they will, at least on the Republican side. The Democrat race truly does look too close to call, though Hillary Clinton is highly favored.
You know it's a big win for Trump when the race is called as soon as the polls close

NBC News has now allocated *at least* 45 of Indiana's 57 delegates to Trump — giving him 1,043 total delegates in GOP race
— Mark Murray (@mmurraypolitics) May 3, 2016
W/ all 57 delegates, Trump would get to 1,055 – 182 from nomination. Path:
WV: +25
OR: +12
WA: +22
NJ: +51
NM: +12=just needs 60 from CA
— Steve Kornacki (@SteveKornacki) May 3, 2016
Numbers in from 7 of Indiana's 9 Congressional districts – Trump leads in all 7 – he may sweep all 57 delegates
— Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) May 3, 2016
Trump is in enough of a commanding position now, he no longer HAS to win the CA primary to get his magic number.

Cruz may stay in, but only a complete Trump implosion could lead to a contested convention after Indiana.
