Last week’s Democratic National Convention was, among other things, a battery of rejoinders prepackaged for Twitter from a lineup of the party’s most popular lawmakers and supporters. By analyzing the millions of tweets that included one of the common hashtags for the convention, TIME was able to identify the top 100 most popular lines, as measured by the number of times people tweeted them.
Since not everyone transcribed the same quote verbatim, we combined quotes that referred to the same line with small variations. By this method, Nominee Hillary Clinton led the pack with 27 of the top 100 quotes, followed by President Obama with 14.
1. “Don’t boo. Vote.”
President Obama, repeating a familiar refrain from his reelection campaign
2. “When they go low, we go high.”

3. “Malarkey.”
