I would worry about the children though. My eight-year-old and his friends recently discovered the term shut up, and they are always telling each other to do it now. Will they ever speak their minds again?
I would have my children and all their friends attend a Cruz rally and chant "Zo-dee-ak! Zo-dee-ak!" but not to "shut up". Gotta draw the line somewhere...

Sanders the winner in Indiana. Hillary can't relax just yet I guess.
Every primary he wins he loses ground in the overall. He needs something like 60% here on out to catch her in pledged delegates. So although he won, he will need bigger margins of victory from here on out. Which he's not gonna get. But of course, he's no more a democrat than Trump is a republican so he doesn't care at all about Clinton or down ballot dems.

Yes she can, she didn't even campaign in Indiana. I don't think she ran one commercial there, she's in Ohio working on the general election. Bernie only mission at this point is to divide the Democratic party, he developed an attitude when people noticed him.

I guess what I mean is she can't start moving back towards center yet. She's got to keep adopting Sanders' message until at least June now.
Like was said on CNN a few minutes ago. Hillary's basically won the nomination, but Bernie won the debate. She's had to mostly adopt all his talking points (albeit in milder terms) through the course of the campaign. She wouldn't have bothered to do so without the constant pressure.

His mission is increasingly getting something closer to his platform adopted at the national convention.
Sanders looks like he's going to win both Indianapolis and all its suburbs, Fort Wayne, and nearly every county that doesn't touch the Ohio River. I expected Hillary to do well up in Lake County right by Chicago but her margin there isn't nearly as big as I would've thought.
Cruz is such an asshole. He deliberately dropped out to ruin my Contested Convention party. Guess I should have invited him.
So what's next? Does he fade into obscurity? Does he annoint himself the evangelical shrill to keep in the news? Will he work on his World's Most Repellent Person title and try again in 4 years?
If he were really intent on helping the GOP, he should endorse Hillary. Then start showing up at Clinton rallies in Hillary attire and covered with campaign buttons. Maybe an "I'm the face of a Hillary supporter" campaign. The upside would be comic relief and the (extraordinarily steep) downside would be the heightened possibility of a President Trump.
