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.

Are these people Americans?
When I want plumbing advice, I go to a plumber, not an actor or a rock star or a celebrity physicist or cell biologist. When I need my orbit realigned or my DNA flushed, I’ll keep these guys in mind.
too bad yasser died or he would be right in there
When I was young and stupid, I thought Nobel prizes actually meant something. They’re about as meaningful as Oscars always going to movies about gay vegan transgendered slaves.
LOL!!! Very interesting.
God must have a sense of humor! :)
OK, well that’s fine. But who did Dale Jr. endorse?
Bravo Foxtrot Delta
The Nobel prizes hit rock bottom 30 years ago and have been digging ever since.
Another reason NOT to vote for Killary!
They all support Hitlery because the know that PRESIDENT TRUMP will demand real science that shows results that are repeatable and provable; or no more GRANTS for you.
The FAKERS are terrified.
Obama is a Nobel laureate.
That’s about it. When it comes to politics, these guys know no more than we do.
They need government funding.
So very true- not going to get a lot of Nobel Prizes for telling the powers that be things they don't want to hear.
70 morons who won Nobel prises endorses Criminal for President! Big deal...
