Donald Trump is a strong favorite on the odds to win the Indiana Republican Primary on Tuesday at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com as he looks to take another step toward locking down his party’s nomination for the 2016 Presidential election.
Missouri is holding eight congressional district conventions Saturday.
If Trump gets the required 1,237 delegates on the first ballot he’s get the Republican presidential nomination the fight is over.
Should he reach the magic number of 1,237, the nomination is his because almost all delegates are bound to vote for their candidate in the first round.

Ducey called the past eight years “the most futile in modern American history” and said that it’s time to “put a Republican in the White House and Hillary Clinton in the Big House”.
Cruz is banking on an IN victory on May 3 to block Trump from scoring a majority of delegates before the Republican party convention this summer.
He said he’ll use Bernie Sanders’ primary attacks that Clinton is “not qualified” for the presidency due to her close ties to Wall Street and stances on issues like trade against Clinton in the general election.
“California is likely to decide this entire battle”, Cruz told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
“First of all, he shouldn’t be naming anybody because he doesn’t even have a chance”, the NY billionaire said in a Wednesday interview on Fox News.
Cruz acknowledged that he needs to halt Trump’s march to the nomination, saying, “We’re at the edge of a cliff and staring down”.
