Problem: In a television interview, a politician calls a rival candidate a "loser", a "slimy bribe taker", and "an unqualified candidate because he was born in Canada". Suppose there is no proof that the candidate ever lost an election, ever took a bribe, and was born in Canada to an American citizen mother. Evaluate EACH statement by the politician as to whether the statement constitutes slander. Please use the proper method of evaluating each element of a defamation claim.
