So Paul is saying: "I think if we keep saying 'We wanted to defund it ... [but] ... we're willing to compromise on this' ... we're gonna win this "
OK, I get it. We are the party of compromise, you won't compromise, we will win the argument.
That’s how I took it too. When “we” includes McConnell, there is never anything won. Rand said, “I think *we*’re going to win this.”
