His numbers in Indiana arent great. Is it a ‘no-vote’ state like some of the others?

Indiana binds its delegates for the first ballot only.

"A delegate ... shall on the first ballot at the national convention support the candidate who received the highest number of votes ... if the person is ... a candidate at the convention. If the presidential candidate ... is not on the ballot ... the ... delegates are no longer bound." [Rules of the Indiana Republican State Committee. Rule 10-2, 10-6, IC 3-8-3-11].

Indiana Primary Rules

Delegates are not selected by the primary, so it is possible for party insiders to choose delegates who are "Trojan horse delegates," meaning they are loyal to a candidate other than the one they are bound to on the first ballot.

Delegates have already been selected and will vote the will of the people
