Then again, some of them are awful and simply hold the kids who get expelled from the other public schools..

Presumably, when he says he'll "give more money" that means either:
a.) Schools will get more money than they do now (so, more than the "normal" school would get), or
b.) He'll push for more charter schools, period, to increase the total amount going to charter schools.
Given that you yourself noted the extreme hit-or-miss nature of charter programs (in addition to the fact that there are disagreements over the scope and nature of what should be a "charter" program), either of these solutions seem like a band-aid rather than an actual solution to many (likely including myself and 33).
