Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are ahead in the race.
New Delhi:
The Indiana Primary today may seal the deal for both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Sweeping Indiana's 57 delegates won't deliver the 1,237 needed to secure the GOP nomination for Trump, but it would significantly ease his way before the July convention.
But with 996 delegates, he is certainly ahead in the race to reach 1,237 - compared to Ted Cruz who has 565 and John Kasich, who has 153.
Trump has already announced himself the "presumptive nominee" of the Republican Party, declaring "they're voting for me". With a confident swag, he has gone into the campaign, asking the voters in Indiana to have fun.
"A very big musician, I won't say who, said Trump is the greatest without a guitar... this guy (Trump) fills up the stadiums. He doesn't have bands, he doesn't have music. I only have the brain folks, and the mouth."
For Ted Cruz, this could very well be the end of the road. But he refused to admit that the fight is over, maintaining instead that was neck to neck. In his last pitch, he reminded the moderate and conservative voters that they have "a choice".
"Do we support a campaign that is based on yelling, screaming and cursing and insults, that is based on dividing Americans, or do we support a campaign that is a positive, optimistic, forward looking, conservative, campaign," said Cruz.
For Hillary Clinton, the fight is no longer with Bernie Sanders, but showing how the alternative to her would be a "white supremacists" who hated Muslims, Latinos, Mexicans and most of all women like her.
"We cannot let Barack Obama's legacy fall into Donald Trump's hands," she told the voters. "The leading Republican contender is the man who led the insidious 'birther' movement to discredit the President's (Obama's) citizenship."
Clinton who has 2165 delegates, will have a near insurmountable lead over Sanders if the 500 super delegates are included. Sanders has only 1357 delegates. For Democrats, the magic number is 2383.
