(CNN) - Speaking to a gathering of Iowa Republicans Friday, Sen. Rand Paul seemed to set his sights beyond the state's 2016 caucus - in which he could very well be a contender - and instead zeroed on a potential general election rival: Hillary Clinton.

He was speaking at the Iowa GOP's Lincoln Day Dinner in Cedar Rapids, his first stop in a tour of early voting states.
