Rand Paul: Cruz Is Definitely Qualified To Be Canada's Prime Minister

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Wednesday that GOP rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was qualified to be the prime minister of Canada, but dodged answering directly whether he thought Cruz was qualified for the United States presidency.

GOP hopeful Donald Trump on Tuesday revived his suggestion that the circumstances of Cruz's birth could cause him trouble in the 2016 election. Cruz was born in Canada, but was a U.S. citizen at birth because his mother was a U.S. citizen. Cruz dismissed the birther chatter Wednesday as "political noise."

Paul was asked about Cruz during an interview with the radio show, "Kilmeade and Friends."

“You know, I think without question he is qualified and would make the cut to be prime minister of Canada," Paul said. "Absolutely without question, he is qualified and he meets the qualifications."
