She is my senator.. embarrassing... pangaia Jun 2019 #60

Something about her voice is nails on a chalkboard to me Clash City Rocker Jun 2019 #67

Harris is kicking ass! aaaaaa5a Jun 2019 #52

Harris, Buttigieg, Biden only ones doing well, Williamson, surprisingly is not bad Celerity Jun 2019 #55

She shows emotional intelligence. But she can offer no plans/detail because she has no experience. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #71

Re: Biggest threat to U.S. Bennett agrees with De Blasio RUSSIA, & got huge applause. elleng Jun 2019 #59

I thought kamala was unfair to President Obama...he did what he could Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #63

Cause he's not yelling over others?!? DaDeacon Jun 2019 #86

I dont agree...the people being rude and interrupting look small. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #152

Exactly. R B Garr Jun 2019 #159

Biden did fine...they needed more to break free from low polls and didnt get it. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #165

Is it just me or is there more fillabustering tonight? Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Jun 2019 #78

I'm really liking Buttigeig. Kamala relies too much on emotionalism. It feels contrived. 58Sunliner Jun 2019 #87

More Spirited For Sure colsohlibgal Jun 2019 #88

Holy crap a kennedy Jun 2019 #91

Could be a dangerous move... TruckFump Jun 2019 #103

It was her lowest point of the night. defacto7 Jun 2019 #193

Biden should not be defensive here BeyondGeography Jun 2019 #99

Harris... WOW! aaaaaa5a Jun 2019 #100

That is not good....... a kennedy Jun 2019 #102

Yeah, I don't like this. TruckFump Jun 2019 #106

I agree. elleng Jun 2019 #107

She seems angry. She has a right to it, but it may not play well. 58Sunliner Jun 2019 #122

I agree with rhat. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #167

Her low point for the night. defacto7 Jun 2019 #194

THIS IS NOT GOOD a kennedy Jun 2019 #104

Kamala tries to nail Joe on bussing. 58Sunliner Jun 2019 #105

The audience largely has no clue what the precise issue is. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #109

Right. Sad. elleng Jun 2019 #114

Agreed. 58Sunliner Jun 2019 #125

Not to mention bussing to achieve integration BECAME controversial over time... hlthe2b Jun 2019 #133

and didn't allow him to explain his decision. elleng Jun 2019 #111

I found her almost unlikeable during this exchange...and an example of how issues in a Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #142

This exchange is good for both Harris and Biden tishaLA Jun 2019 #108

Harris and Biden have managed to make Bernie sound calmer BeyondGeography Jun 2019 #110

Kamala was killing it. Why did she go there? Bad move. Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #117

I think she overreached BeyondGeography Jun 2019 #130

Because Sunsky Jun 2019 #134

That was my reaction too. Nt spooky3 Jun 2019 #138

And that's a tough task! Raven123 Jun 2019 #119

LOL. 58Sunliner Jun 2019 #127

Sorry, but Biden's defense of his opposition to bussing was total baloney Goodheart Jun 2019 #115

Only point Harris made was she wouldn't/couldn't let him explain what appears to have been a legal/ elleng Jun 2019 #121

Oh, but he DID explain. Goodheart Jun 2019 #136

Read through this subthread. Posters neither understand her position or his. That's why it was so hlthe2b Jun 2019 #146

Bad exchange...certainly backfired. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #153

Harris was right. Blue_true Jun 2019 #192

No she wasn't ...and way more important issues. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #210

Thanks elleng Jun 2019 #182

You have to have lived partly in segregation to really understand Blue_true Jun 2019 #187

Yes, in a real sense, he was virulently opposed to busing. Blue_true Jun 2019 #184

He supported the court-ordered bussing. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #191

Then why did he work with segregationists to fight it? Blue_true Jun 2019 #198

It was disagreements with aspects of the legislation that was proposed at the time. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #199

Every segregationist also had "differences" with the legistlation. Blue_true Jun 2019 #204

Well, he'll have to address it. I was in the heart of the South then so I'm not unaware of the hlthe2b Jun 2019 #206

I was raised in a diverse neighborhood also. Blue_true Jun 2019 #208

What Harris failed to do was pin Joe down on how much bussing Blue_true Jun 2019 #180

He had a chance to show some empathy for Harris. He didn't. Politicub Jun 2019 #123

She misrepresented his position. It is hard to show empathy when one knows you have seconds hlthe2b Jun 2019 #140

Biden's approach may have been the right one Politicub Jun 2019 #164

He was never given the chance. That's the problem with ambushes. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #170

I dont see it that way....and she seemed rather calculating to me. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #154

I think Kamala won that one. cannabis_flower Jun 2019 #137

She was angry about being bussed! hlthe2b Jun 2019 #141

She wasn't angry about being bussed. cannabis_flower Jun 2019 #175

She kept exclaiming that "I was that little girl. I was bussed!" hlthe2b Jun 2019 #178

Well, here's the thing. cannabis_flower Jun 2019 #183

She didn't get her point across in this dust-up; So, I doubt the audience will hold an inexplicable hlthe2b Jun 2019 #185

It didn't seem unfair unless.. cannabis_flower Jun 2019 #188

It happened 45 years ago. Fewer than 10% of the audience would have understood it and even less hlthe2b Jun 2019 #189

It would be perceived as "fair" if you didn't know Biden's full record which was not anti-bussing. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #195

I don't. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #160

We'll see won't we. cannabis_flower Jun 2019 #172

I predict Harris will not get much of a bump in the polls...if any. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #213

I agree. I am a baby boomer. I was in segregated schools for a short time. Blue_true Jun 2019 #200

I'm not sure... cannabis_flower Jun 2019 #205

He is right. Busing was a failure. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #144

Not in my county. It was very successful. Kids ended up with shorter rides. Blue_true Jun 2019 #207

I dont agree and running in busing in the 22st century is just silly. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #209

In my area kids were bussed MORE to maintain segregated schools. Blue_true Jun 2019 #214

It is yesterdays issue...schools in the north remained segregated for the most part. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #218

When my southern county finally integrated schools, it did so in a model way. nt Blue_true Jun 2019 #221

Yes that was a crummy answer. Blue_true Jun 2019 #174

Biden is arguing for municipal rights as opposed to state rights femmedem Jun 2019 #116

Yeah, that was not good. TruckFump Jun 2019 #120

I like it. And if you think busing is a good issue to run on...well you are wrong. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #149

Bussing wasn't the issue. cannabis_flower Jun 2019 #186

Buding was the issue... Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #211

It was NOT the issue. Where I went to school, kids in integrated schools got bussed LESS Blue_true Jun 2019 #217

In my county, kids were bussed more to maintain segregation. Blue_true Jun 2019 #216

It would be better if he just came out and said that his view then was wrong Blue_true Jun 2019 #215

Yes, that's what I had assumed was the case. femmedem Jun 2019 #222

He is out of mulligans. When his supporters have to rush forward to undo his mistakes, that Blue_true Jun 2019 #225

It was a desperation move Jersey Devil Jun 2019 #145

spot on. K&R onetexan Jun 2019 #203

It was unfocused anger that did not allow the audience to understand the issue, her point and hlthe2b Jun 2019 #157

She did and failed in my opinion. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #162
