Jindal: ‘I Don’t Think Rand Paul Is Going To Be Our Nominee’

BLITZER: “All right. Just to be precise, therefore, if Rand Paul were to get the Republican presidential nomination, and were running against Hillary Clinton for the presidency, you would not be able to vote for Senator Rand Paul because you believe he's unsuited to be commander-in-chief?”

JINDAL: “Well, Wolf, two things. I don't think he's going to be the nominee. And, I want to be very clear, this is not a personal -- this is about policy issues. Look, I want to commend the Senator for standing up and saying we need to be weary of spying on Americans here at home. There are many things he's done that I think are commendable. I just think when it comes to foreign policy, which is an increasingly important issue, his statements yesterday and some of his previous statements I think render him unsuitable. Anybody that's auditioning to be commander-in-chief, I believe, needs to spell out how they would keep America safe. We need a radical break from this president's policies. I didn't hear Senator Rand Paul describe that break.” 

BLITZER: “So would you be able to be vote for him?” 

JINDAL: “I don't think I'm going to be faced with that choice. I don't think he'll be the nominee. The Democrats are on their way to coronate Hillary Clinton. But I don't think Rand Paul will be the nominee. Not only for this, but other reasons, I don't think he'll be our nominee.”
