Snip....
Ms. Harris was asked to explain what she meant when she said Wednesday that busing should be part of the toolbox to address desegregating schools, which would be distinct from a federal mandate. She suggested that the environment around civil rights is different today from when she was a student, though she said she supported school districts and municipalities doing whatever they need to do on integration measures.
This is not the first issue on which Ms. Harris has muddled her response she has also struggled to articulate whether she thinks private health care should be eliminated but the California senator dismissed questions about her consistency.
I have not changed my position, she said. So, we can talk about other issues if youd like.

Every candidate should have to answer tough questions about their records and positions.
And I am also glad that no one is slamming the person presenting the OP for posting "another post about busing".
