I’d say top 3. Trump plus one of the party-dorks and then Cruz is a good day for him. He does need to get 12% or more, IMO. Single digits would look poor. 12%-15% would be a decent day. Kasich is irrelevant if he gets 2nd. Bush or Christie would get a good bump from a 2nd place finish and that might change the complexion of the race going forward.

Anything less is showing he has no appeal in NH. So? The GOP hasn't carried New Hampshire since 2000. It's hardly a bell-weather state anymore
To: napscoordinator
He needs 2nd place or he should drop out tomorrow. Trump needs to win by 23 points or he should drop out tomorrow.

Dan Henniger of the Wall Street ( open borders) said if Trump doesn't win by more than 10 points he lost
What an idiot.
He is building that wall and keep Ford in the US
Sorry Dan

His ground game in the upcoming states is very impressive and there is a host of conservative states coming up. Bush will hang in there because of cash and a burning hatred of Rubio and Trump. Christie and Kasich are done. One will get some life from NH. But is prolonging the inevitable. Carson and Christie will probably be done after today. I like Fiorina but not sure where her path forward is. Curious to see if Christie wounded Rubio enough to leave Bush as last RINO standing. If Bush makes it to Florida without Rubio, the race shifts to trump, Cruz, and...Bush

He needs 2nd place or he should drop out tomorrow. Trump needs to win by 23 points or he should drop out tomorrow. Rubio needs to be in the top ten for a BIG victory tonight with the celebration starting with the media.

They always ignore Cruz (unless they are attacking him) so I'm looking forward to seeing how he does in NH.
Whether he wins or not, I want Cruz to get enough votes that Fox, CNN, the GOPe and others have to go home and eat bottles of antacids and aspirins. LOL

Trump has to win by 240% with a margin of 600 million NH voters or he will have lost...

2nd or 3rd would be acceptable in NH, (1st though very unlikely would be awesome!).

Because he says he has the best ground game and feels he is the best in the race.
I am part of the ground game here in Georgia. It is real. If Trump gets 30%, Kasich gets 18%, and Cruz gets 17%, he should no more quit than if Trump got 35%, Cruz got 17%, and Kasich et al got 16% and less.
Come fall, the Trump and Cruz people have to be on the same page. Someone is going to have to be the "Not Trump" choice. It may as well be Cruz. If Cruz continues to win, there is going to have to be a "Not Cruz" choice. It may as well be Trump. Trump-Cruz as ONE-TWO keeps the EStablishment completely destabilized, so that they cannot come up with a counter.
If you think Cruz cannot win, you shouldn't mind him staying in. I ahve ALWAYS stuck up for Trump representing an important segment of the party who have been underrepresented and whose voices should be heard.

Yeah, Cruz needs to finish second to show he's in the race. As one article phrased it, NH is a "bye" week for Cruz. He is not expected to do well based on their preference for RINOs and liberals. So if Cruz gets 4th, he is fine; third he is happy; 2nd and he would be ecstatic!

I’ve had him pegged for third in NH since the first debate. There is no shame in coming in third place there. It’s a very liberal state these days.

No, no, Trump has to win by thirty points.
And Cruz has to finish second or he's toast.
