She promises to scare away white suburban voters such as those who backed Democrats in 2018.
Busing? We’re really going to talk about busing? In 2019? What else does Kamala Harris have in mind? Mood-ring subsidies? A federal bureau of pet rocks? Is she going to create a strategic reserve of polyester bell-bottoms?
It was reasonable, even amusing, for Senator Harris to bring up busing during the Democratic-party debate last Thursday. She needed a blunt instrument with which to wallop Joe Biden upside the head, preferably while inserting herself into the narrative as the woebegone victim of his benighted policies. Harris knows Biden has been winning big among black voters and has a huge lead over her in South Carolina. The best way to bring him down is to paint him as a racist. She started with a class piece of apophasis: “I do not believe you are racist,” she told Biden, before explaining why everyone else should believe that he was. Biden’s recently expressed fond feelings about the racist (Democratic) senators he used to have lunch with? Deeply troubling. Segue to the suffering she had personally endured at the hands of Mean Joe B. when, by opposing busing in the 1970s, he ruthlessly sought to block her from the education she needed as an adorable six-year-old in pigtails. As one Twitter wag noted, by the time this beautifully performed little monologue had ended, Senator Harris looked like she might have to prosecute herself for murdering Biden.

Someone posted about the biography of Harris’ high powered attorney husband. His family moved to SoCal in the late 70s and made sure they moved into an area outside the Los Angeles Unified School District so their son would not be bused into Compton.
Busing? No one rides the loser cruiser.
Mommy will drop the poor under privileged tyke off in the Mercedes.
I agree!
We should load all the illegals at the border and bus their assessment back where they came from.
Some (Africans) may have to swim part of the way.
assessment = asses
If busing is so good, why is she portraying herself as some sort of victim for being bussed?
She is just pimping for the real estate industry.
Any whites with school age children still living in urban school districts will be selling their houses—just in case she wins... ;-)
If this skank wins the primary she will pull the “that’s not what I meant” move and with MSM’s help her pro busing stance will disappear like she never said it.

Fast forward to 2019, and spending per pupil in the Detroit Public School system is $13,000 per student, and spending in the St. Clair Shores Lakeview Public Schools (my old school district) is $9,800 per student.
Nobody would argue that the Detroit Public School system is superior to the Lakeview School system, so the problem with the quality of education does not correlate to the amount of spending per pupil.
Also, when busing was active in the 1960s and 70s, schools spent so much of their budget on transportation, and students spent so much time each day riding buses, that the quality of education went down for everybody.
Great plan, Kamala!
Bringing Busing to the surface just may be her downfall. There are so many anecdotal stories out there about WHY it was a total failure that it could dominate the news cycle if she becomes the D nominee.
I thought the libs were against school choice!
Haha yes! That’s how I see her. If Joe Biden wants to take his gloves off, this is where he needs to go.....
Exactly. Here’s Kamala and friends at ballet class.

Oh, lawdy, how did this poor girl survive? /s
She looks like her head has been filled with hateful mush from the beginning. Dead eyes.
She’s guilty of “acting” white!
