Most, or 53 percent?

 

[yankeesince59]

Well "53%" would be "most", right?

 

[jonnyboy]

Well "53%" would be "most", right?

It would be slightly more than half. ‘Most’ generally alludes to being almost all of something.

lol, I was thinking the same thing. Well played,

sorry jonny, you're wrong again.

Definition of most
(Entry 1 of 6)

1: greatest in quantity, extent, or degree. example:the most ability
2: the majority of. example: most people

In the senate and the house the party with the "MOST" members is called the majority whether it's by one or more.

If that stance somehow helps you to sleep better, I'm happy for you.

 

[julius]

That is some real good brainwashing going on there.

 

[crandc]

Honestly not surprised. Appalled, but not surprised. Trump supporters largely favor the Confederate traitors over the Union.

Pretty sad state of affairs, isn't it ?

I don't know anyone who actually felt that Clinton or Obama were the best President in their life times, let alone all Presidents period. To think Trump is the best Republican President ever is either willful ignorance, racism, or trolling.
But yeah, it is a sad state of affairs.

More than anything it is proof of the collective intellect of today’s Republicans. Whenever you wonder “how the hell is he president?”, a poll like this one is your answer. People too dumb and/or uneducated to pick Trump over fucking Abraham Lincoln

What I find even more odd is how Saint Reagan, who wouldn't like Trump, isn't apparently gone from their hive minds.

The majority of conservatives are against higher education because a lot of money has been spent on messaging campaigns. This poll is proof that it paid dividends so I don’t see their efforts diminishing.

 

[riverman]

One of those presidents was honest.....the other …..well.....

 

[Stevenson]

Between Lincoln and Trump? Teddy Roosevelt.

 

[MarAzul]

hive minds

I could ask what is meant by hive minds, But I don't think I will.
I will ask, Which President;
Trump
or
Lincoln,

lead the nation into civil war?

No much good in that mark.

 

[THE HCP]

Good lord almighty.....

All of the above.

Bullshit.

 

[MARIS61]

Well "53%" would be "most", right?

No, I'm afraid that's not right.

What crappy dictionary is that from?

2: the majority of most people

The majority of most would logically be less than the sum of most, making this definition retarded.

Wow, can one of the Mods please tell me why my original Title of this thread was changed?

I have to assume that it was because the same individual who is notorious for stirring shit up around here got his butt hurt again, and reported it?

Probably the president that made the emancipation proclamation.

Uh, it's from Mirriam-Webster. You might have heard of it?

 

[CupWizier]

No, I'm afraid that's not right.

oh please, explain that for us logical people.

Lets say there are 100 voters and cup gets 51 votes and maris gets 49. Who has the MOST votes?

 

[yankeesince59]

Probably the president that made the emancipation proclamation.

Jules, can you tell me why the title of this thread was changed?

 

[julius]

Jules, can you tell me why the title of this thread was changed?

I have no idea, as I didn't know it was changed nor do I know who changed it.

 

[Lanny]

Well "53%" would be "most", right?

The math is difficult but I think I can figure it out.

You're missing their point. Their point is that Trump is the greatest President the Universe has ever known in it's long infinity of time. Hint: Infinity is a pretty long time. Longer than even this forum has existed, longer than I've been alive, longer than Marzy's been alive.
