...is there still a plausible path to the nomination for him?

Many of you have said that it is a must-win. Some say he can live without it. I'm pretty neutral. Does Trump need to win New Hampshire? If not, how can he win the nomination without it?

EDIT: Added poll, just cuz.

I don't think so. Trump would pretty much have to drop out right there.

TRUMP isn't interested in playing kingmaker --- he wants to win.  If he loses NH, he will either drop out or try to make a last stand in SC.  If he loses both NH and SC then he is done.

It would be stange if Trump were to drop out if he were tied in number of delegates, which is a plausible second place scenario (though more likely 2-3 behind Rubio max).

He would probably stay on, but the negative momentum would spell his doom in SC and NV and he might drop out after that.

No, New Hampshire is a must-win for both Trump and Sanders.

If Trump loses it's pretty much over for him, look at how far he fell nationally (granted it's one poll) just by losing Iowa, if he loses New Hampshire too, he will have immensely negative momentum going into South Carolina and Nevada

He needs to win there to save face, but I'd note that his numbers in NH have consistently liven lower than his national numbers.

Trump loses New Hampshire, even if it's a close second, he will drop out. He likes to win and only win.

He's finished if Rubio wins. The media will crown Marco the nominee after that.

No. If he can't win a state where the establishment vote is split between 4 candidates, he's not winning anywhere.

No, if he loses a state despite leading the polls by double digits will cost him too momentum.

The odds are low that Trump will lose, but high that he's done if he does.
