Trump was just listing off people who dropped out, and when he got to Bush he was compelled by some undeniable force to interject "low energy."

Do polls close at 6pm ET in the entire state, including the counties on CST?

Like it says in the OP: nope. But there are so few CST counties that results can come in when the ET counties close.

It's weird how everyone knows how this is going to go, but the narrative still has to wait until Indiana's done before moving on to "Trump is a lock for 1237+". Even so, media and political figures probably won't go further than conceding it's very likely for another month until California makes it official.

There's so much left to do in the lead-up to the convention and so many questions left to answer, like Trump's VP, what'll go down with the rules committee, whether the campaign will get to run the convention, which Republican figures will endorse and which ones will go into hiding... but we can't get to any of that until Trump has definitively got those delegates, no matter how certain it seems beforehand.

I actually forgot Kasich was in this race until seeing his name just now. Everyone's talking about how this is Cruz's last stand but he and Kasich are both mathematically eliminated and it's not like Kasich has any better a chance of stopping Trump from getting 1237. Are people not talking about him because it's pointless for him to even concede defeat, he's so out of contention?

One of the reasons people thought he was staying in the race was so that he could claim to be a contender in Cleveland unlike those who've dropped out, if Cruz wants to try some last-minute rules committee play doesn't he need to stay in too and try to scoop the last few rural states so he can get enough people on the committee to take control? In essence, all that winning today really does is confirm that Trump's going to have 1237+ pledged on the first ballot.

Kasich is basically comic relief at this point, when the public needs a break from the Trump-Cruz shitshow, someone just tweets a pic of Kasich eating or rather inhaling some food down his gullet.

It would almost be worth it for the final numbers in Indiana to show Cruz + Kasich numbers combined are higher than Trump's, just so all the melting down #NeverTrumps can flip their poo poo about Kasich's vote-splitting handing Trump the nomination. Also to show how worthless the "alliance" was except to hurt their image.

Of course a Trump > 50% blowout would also be great to drive home how hopeless they were from the start.
