Sen. Rand Paul told supporters Sunday that the Republican message can and must appeal to people in all demographics and in states that havent been won by a Republican presidential candidate in many years.

We can reach out and get new people in theses states, we can reach out to new audiences and we can win again, but we need to be the party that passionately is for the Bill of Rights, he said.

Paul said Republicans need to defend the rights outlined in the First and Fourth Amendments with the same vigor that they defend the Second Amendment.

In 2016, were going to get a chance, and I think its about time we start thinking about getting a new president, he said.

Republican victories will begin in three weeks during the mid-term election, Paul said.

I sense that the wind is at our back and I sense were going to have a big victory, he said. In fact, I can taste it.

Like President Ronald Reagan did, Republicans need to exude optimism but also stand for something, Paul said.

When I think about how were going to win again, its as much about our attitude and the way we present our ideas as it is about policy, he said.

Paul closed out an evening of political speeches from individuals including U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., state Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, who is running for governor in 2015 andformer U.S. ambassador Cathy Bailey, who is also considering a run for governor.

Sen. Rand Paul has said repeatedly that he's considering a run for president in 2016

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Editor's note: Wolf Blitzer's interview with Rand Paul will air in full on CNN's "The Situation Room" at 5 p.m. ET

(CNN) -- In 2011, Sen. Rand Paul told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he would favor a halt of U.S. foreign aid, including assistance to Israel.

In August, at the height of the recent Gaza conflict, the Kentucky Republican made headlines for declaring he never proposed ending aid to the country.

Democrats and other critics seized on his sharp change in tune and blasted the likely presidential contender for flip-flopping. The criticism kicked off a wave of close scrutiny of Paul's past statements.

On Friday, Rand spoke with Blitzer again, saying he stands by what he told him in 2011.

"Interestingly, they keep playing our interview, Wolf. So we had a great interview. But the interesting thing of it is I actually still do agree with what I told you. Ultimately, I think a country that's $18 trillion in debt should not be borrowing money from China to send it to anyone," he said.

What Rand Paul thinks is the 'biggest mistake' for GOP

Rand Paul usually starts with a joke; it relieves the tension thats never there. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, the junior Senator from Kentucky is running a little late, but a University of South Carolina lecture room is already overfull, stragglers fighting for space behind a row of TV cameras. A few college Democrats are in the room, but as listeners, not hecklers.

Most of the students actually sound like Brett Harris, a sophomore studying political science, who had showed up an hour early to win a front-row center seat. Id have camped out on the lawn if Id had to, he says, clutching a red-and-white STAND WITH RAND sign to his matching STAND WITH RAND T-shirt. Of course I would! Its Rand Paul!

Harris starts to explain his affinity for Paul, and how right hes been about foreign policy, when the man himself arrives; jeans and battered cowboy boots, no jacket. This will be his uniform for two days of speeches and schmoozing and selfies, across South Carolina and North Carolina, in front of everyone from military veterans to pastors to reporters to donors to students. The students would come first.

Will we in 20 years be fighting a war and saying, Oh yeah, we voted for it in 2001?

Rand Paul

Last time I was here, I was at a barbecue, says Paul. The guy in front of me was loading up two plates of barbecue. I said, Youre not gonna live long eating like that! He said, My granddad lived to be 105. I said, He didnt live to 105 by eating like that. He said, No, my granddad lived to be 105 by minding his own business.

The joke is as fresh as the last grease scrapings from an outdoor smoker. Two years ago, Paul liked to deliver it before introducing his father, Rep. Ron Paul, to the Republican voters tasked with picking a presidential nominee. His father badly lost the South Carolina primary both times he ran, which was taken as evidence that antiwar libertarianism had no place in the heartland of the modern Republican party. Rand Paul is in the state to explain what these voters missed. His sort of politics should be popularin fact, isnt it popular already?

Rand Paul speaks to students at the University of South Carolina.

Sometimes I think if we ought to have a campaign theme for government, that ought to be it, says Paul when the guffaws subside. Minding your own business. Maybe theres enough of us in the country who say, you know what? Lets be part of the Leave Me Alone coalition.
