70 Nobel Laureates Endorse Hillary Clinton
By ALAN RAPPEPORT OCT. 18, 2016
A group of the worlds leading experts in science, medicine and economics threw their support behind Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, endorsing the Democratic presidential candidate and arguing that her election is crucial for safeguarding freedom and preserving a constitutional government.
The forceful endorsement came in a letter signed by 70 Nobel laureates hailing from a variety of fields and making the case that Mrs. Clinton is the candidate who best understands the importance of investing in science and technology at a time when the world faces challenges on several fronts. The letter made no mention of Donald J. Trump, but it suggested that policies that show a lack of appreciation of scientific knowledge could damage Americas prestige and national security.
We need a president who will support and advance policies that will enable science and technology to flourish in our country and to provide the basis of important policy decisions, they wrote.
The Nobel winners included such prominent names such as the chemist Peter Agre, the economist Robert J. Shiller and the physicist Robert Woodrow Wilson. They pointed to global concerns such as cancer, Alzheimers disease and climate change as problems that require American investment and innovation.
Mr. Trump has described climate change as a hoax perpetrated by China.
The fact that the Nobel laureates are backing Mrs. Clinton does not come as a big surprise, as academics overwhelmingly tend to lean Democratic.

Like we need a lecture on the world’s smartest woman from the world’s smartest.
Hillary is a freakin’ disaster.
Well, the world’s elites have spoken!

Charles: “Mike, did you hear that Eric won a Nobel Prize?”
Michael: “Damn, I didn’t even know he was a COMMUNIST!”

That should be enough for anyone “on the fence” to come down for Trump. I mean we’re talking Yassir Arafat, Algore, Barry Soetoro and Bobby Dylan territory here.
The Establishment supports the Establishment

Exactly what I was thinking.
70 Nobel Laureates!?! Oh my! So prestigious.
This changes my mind completely. I’m With Her!

When Hillary heard about the amount of loot, plus gold it was worth, she promised a kick-back in U.S. taxpayer money to the 70 Laureates when she is POTUS.
Here’s How Much Nobel Prize Winners Get

It really does pay to be smart.
The Nobel Prize is about more than just prestige. Winners of the international award, which has been around since 1901, also receive an 18-karat gold medal and a check of nearly $1 million.
The prize money can be traced back to the awards creator and the inventor of dynamite, Alfred Nobel, who stipulated that his estate (worth $197.4 million today) would continue to accrue in value by investing in safe securities back in 1895. It would then be awarded annually to prize winners.
In 2016, the Nobel Foundation decided that each prize would include roughly 8 million Swedish Krona, or $923,179.20. The gold medals also carry a hefty price tag. Two earlier Nobel winners have sold their metals, fetching $765,002 and $4.7 million in auctions.
While each Nobel laureate receives his or her own gold medal, if one prize has multiple winners, the cash reward is split.

If I had any respect for the Nobel Prize Committee this might mean something.
“70 Nobel laureates make the case that Mrs. Clinton.” Talk about destroying a brand. Nobel = Clinton. Good job, guys.
The Nobel Peace Prize is a sick joke.
Has it ever occurred to you that the people who protested against “The Establishment” in the 1960s have now become the Establishment? And we, who supported or would have supported, the Establishment of the 1960s, have now become the Anti-Establishment movement?
Proof that God loves irony. People always become what they once detested or mocked.
So ONLY HIllary can cure cancer, alzheimers AND global warming.
And to think. We blew it not electing Kerry to make Christopher Reeves walk again.
According to their website, 881 Laureates have been named since the Nobel Prize was established.
That means 811 Nobel Laureates have not endorsed Hilliary! Clinton.
bammy is a noballs winner too....so why would I be impressed with other “winners” going for the witch?
The candidate of the elites is endorsed by the elites in a newspaper for the elites. I wonder how much harm that will do with Trump voters.
Nobel
A name that has come to stand for despicable things.
That means 811 Nobel Laureates have not endorsed Hilliary! Clinton."
But, I found the actual facts about the 70..
News Headline: "70 dead Nobel Laureates have endorsed Hillary Clinton for President!"
If Hillary, Obama, and their supporters in the media, Hollywood, academia, and Wall Street are so smart than why is everything single thing they touch a disaster?
They are leading the world back into the Dark Ages- not smart at all.
Yes but we didn’t really know the full extent of what the Establsihment was in the 60s and once we figured that out we ended up here.
Contrast that with Hillary who refused a job offer from Alinsky to join the community organizers because she said she could achieve more of his goals from within by becoming part of the Establishment.
