Republican presidential hopeful Rand Paul said Thursday that he is “absolutely” hoping to win the Iowa caucus.

“I grew up competing in sports — swimming and competing in college,” the Kentucky senator told TheBlaze during a sit-down interview. “We never went in to get, you know, third place or something.”

“So you’re hoping to win it?” the senator was asked.

“Absolutely,” Paul answered. “It only takes probably about 30,000 votes to win in Iowa. Our goal is to get 10,000 students out. We are working very hard to organize the student population. We are hoping to get 10,000 independents out. And then, 10,000 liberty Republicans. You put all three of those together, it is enough to win.”

There is a big difference between the last Iowa caucus and the one this year.

The last time it was held during the Christmas break. (Tuesday, January 3). This time it is going to be held while the colleges are full.

This may be what Rand is counting on for the 10,000 votes among that group.

10,000 students?, maybe. 10,000 Independents?, yes. 10,000 "Liberty Republicans"?????? Trump may play the Joker on this one. Let us hope I am wrong. F.Y.I., Iowa stand for "(I)diots (O)ut (W)ondering (A)round"; that's why it's the "First In the Nation!" when it comes to Bull-ish- elections.

It ain't about "What You Got"; it's "What You DO" with what you got.
