New York Times is even seeking clarity from Harris about her stance on busing and health care...

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 you’d like.”

Glad to see it.

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".

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Harris was happy to try and take down Joe Biden on busing.. now she has to explain herself on her shifting positions.
