All Points: Which candidates will be first to go?

The first Republican primary presidential debate, and a pre-debate forum for candidates registering lower in an average of leading polls, was held on Aug. 6. Between the two venues, all 17 contenders had an opportunity to make the case for his or her candidacy. But some fared better than others. Debates are often a tool for whittling down a crowded primary field. After the first face-to-face contest, are there any contenders you believe are unlikely to make it to the next debate? Which candidate’s performance proved he or she is unfit to be president? Send no more than 150 words with your name, address and phone number to letters@star-telegram.com. Deadline is Wednesday.
