I think black people aren’t falling for this anymore.
They’re moving to over to Trump, because they know they can trust him.

Yep, it’s always a $X billion plan to invest in Solar energy, inner city education, health care, fighting drug addiction, climate change, cash for clunkers, etc.
Did anybody ever ask how the results of these “investments” turn out?

His proposal also would commit another $30 billion to upgrading infrastructure on campuses. Like what? New stadiums and gyms? .................

Booker's plan wold involve the schools in combating climate change by requiring that 10 percent of proposed "Climate Moonshot Hubs," which in total cost $400 billion, be located on HBCU campuses.
What, no room to stuff some gun control into this intersectional hail mary pass?
To: simpson96
That $100 billion could do a lot to improve the infrastructure.

Hey, why not? Climate science is junk science anyway. Does not matter where it gets done.

Most HBCUs need to close. What a waste of money to have two parallel systems of public universities.

Excellent question. It always seems to end up in the pockets of places like the SPLC, NGO. In other words, in the pockets of do-gooder libs and Soros. Which....is kind of the point and explains a LOT. The Military-Industrial complex has nothing on these people.

This is a good thing for three reasons:
1. It's a drop in the bucket compared to Warren's $52 trillion for her Medicare-For-All plan.
2. Spartacus has zero chance of becoming president, so the $100 billion is moot.
3. Which means we won't have to waste these taxpayer dollars on the climate change hoax.
Booker is not just desperate to remain relevant by grasping at straws. He's grasping at all the bales of hay in my barn.
34% of blacks are polling for Trump now. They don't believe the democRATS pandering schemes anymore.
democRATS have promised this and that in every election cycle for decades. President Trump, on the other hand, has delivered real results for blacks in his first term already.

Don't you wonder how much Sen. Booker is willing to invest personally?

It is illegal for the Federal government to spend $100 billion for segregated schools.

Promising money in exchange for votes. Isn't this bribery?
Here is the dictionary definition.
bribe noun
a gift offered to persuade a person to do something, usually dishonest.
bribery
verb: to give (someone) a bribe
Source: TheFreeDictionary.com.
Of course, the Dems have broadened the definition to include other things, but this is still bribery.
To: simpson96
Not ever going to happen. Booker’s smoking Biden’s bellybutton lint in his crackpipe.
