WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the Republican Party on Wednesday said its presidential candidates are unlikely to attack each other in the party's first official debate but instead are focused on ousting Democrats from the White House.
Seventeen Republicans, led by outspoken billionaire Donald Trump, are seeking the party's presidential nomination. Only 10 will be on stage Thursday night in the first prime-time debate, which could offer a chance to break out of the pack.
"Ultimately, the real issue here is Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the fact that the country's really not in a good place right now," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said, citing the Democratic presidential front-runner and the president.
"That's really ... what the focus is. We're not going to focus on each other," he told NBC.

If they attack each other — they will only be doing the DNC’s dirty work for them.
Is he an idiot? Right now the opponent isn’t Hillary, or anybody else with a D after their name. The opponent is each other and that’s who they’ll be attacking.
The herd needs some culling.. and it wouldn’t hurt to let a little testosterone show up on stage.
arg.....they should be attacking Obama then tying Chillary to him.
This is a GOPe ploy to run down the clock and help Jeb or one of his backups.
...and you have done NOTHING to stop it, Rancid...nothing.
“This is a GOPe ploy to run down the clock and help Jeb”.......
Certainly has merit. The rinos have lost lots of elections for being stupid or should I say “demodummies”? They certainly act like them.
It looks like Priebus read my post yesterday, and others saying the same thing:
These candidates should turn outward to the Democrats. I want them falling all over each other trying to make their case against the Democrats and der Hildebeast. Make the Democrats look like the clowns they are.
Bush clearly has a path to the R nomination.
But it goes away if Hillary has any credible opposition and Democrats are told to vote in their own primaries.
Remember that press conference at the UN where Hillary was quizzed about her private server, and said that server was “set up for her husband’s office”, “was guarded by the FBI Secret Service”, and “was secure and never breached”??
Turns out that’s what she said, but now it turns out she moved her crap off that server onto one of her own in her home that was set up by some PAC staffer.
Talk about a lie. The Justice Department should connect the dots with the lies.
How does she ever get through to fall, let alone to the nomination??
Uh, shouldn’t they be attacking Sanders?
its not Clinton we should be worried about. the democratic party knows she is hurt to bad to win a presidential election. the candidate from the democratic party are Sander, Biden and Warren. Hillary will remove herself from the election process in about 4 months
