50. Don't think "most" works with your assumption either.

Apr 2014

Pretty much every Hillary supporter I know is a huge fan of Warren. Including right here on this board. You should change the word "most" to "very few".

"Maybe it's because I've seen more posts on how Warren is not running for prez than any other."

"And just about every one is from a Hillary supporter."

"Most" Hillary supporters on this board are starting threads about EW not running.

"Most" of the threads started about EW not running are started by Hillary supporters.

One of those I see as somewhat accurate without doing any data collection. That would be the second one. In no way can you back up the assumption you made using the reason you gave. It is simply not possible. You made a statistical claim without being able to back it up. Therefore there is clearly another reason you made the claim and you don't feel comfortable posting it in this forum.
