With the lone exception of the instance when Kamala criticized Biden on busing - and that move backfired on her in the longer term . Political junkies get excited about them .. In the real world, few seem to care about who won or lost ..

The same is true for all the candidates. A confirmation of even she is my second choice or he is my third is important.
