Reince Priebus, chair of the Republican National Committee, says the party is narrowing in on former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, a potential candidate and threat in the 2016 presidential election.
Priebus told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt Wednesday that the Republican party, with the help of the America Rising PAC, has "begun focusing in" on Clinton, but there's more to be done.
"I think that there's a lot of rough stuff coming out on Hillary," Priebus said. "But i think you're right, i think that we have to be very aggressive on what she's done and what she hasn't done, and the things that she is famous for, like a botched health care roll out in the '90s and Benghazi and the things that she is involved with that went obviously pretty badly."
Hewitt referred to Clinton as the "de facto" nominee for the Democratic Party in 2016. But Priebus said the party could not lose sight of the 2014 elections just yet.

much on the Democrat candidates and not enough on making better selections in their own party. Ergo, Todd Akin, the witch, Sharon Angle, this is their idea of candidates.
