"There are basically two scenarios in New Hampshire:
1. Marco Rubio does really well, and other establishment candidates — like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and John Kasich — don't; or
2. a bunch of candidates get essentially the same score and there's no clear runner-up after Trump.
Marco Rubio wants to avoid scenario two at all costs. Luckily, he's in a position to do it.
Just as many Republican voters in Iowa probably turned out to defeat Trump, many New Hampshire
voters are looking for someone who can beat The Donald. Rubio has been anticipating this. While he began his campaign with an inspiring vision of a "New American Century," one backed up by an innovative policy vision, in the last hectic days of the Iowa campaign, Rubio tailored his pitch more narrowly: Elect me because I can "unite the Party" (he's the only candidate who's acceptable to both moderates and conservatives) and because I can "beat Hillary Clinton." It's less high-minded, but it might be true. It also seems to work." TheWeek
