How to use Collar in a sentence?

1. Stuart Scheller:

   I don’t need a single dollar. I just need every single person that’s willing to go back outside the wire every single day to wear a blue-collar and just go into work every single day and feed their families. Those are the people that I need, follow me and we will bring the whole f***ing system down. I am honorable and you can ask any Marine who served with me for 17 years. I dare you to ask them all and find out what I’m made of. We’re just getting started.

2. Former President Bill Clinton:

   The truth is, the hubbub was I got hot under the collar because of the way the questions were asked. And I think what was lost were the two points that I made that are important to me, the suggestion was that I never apologized for what caused all the trouble for me 20 years ago.

3. President Barack Obama:

   Blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck, there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear. Some of it justified, but just misdirected. I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. That's what he's exploiting during the course of his campaign.

4. David Price:

   There's still plenty of sense that we need to address the slipping away of the American dream with blue-collar America, we didn't do it in 2016. But we're not about to concede that or to give it up.

5. Jared Bernstein:

   The President has long recognized that blue-collar workers, non-college-educated workers, workers in traditionally lower-paid sectors, such as laborers in manufacturing or providers of care to kids and older persons, in many ways those workers have for too long been forgotten by even Democrat policy makers, who basically told them,' Get a college education and you'll be fine,' which is not a viable option for a lot of people and seems pretty dismissive of their experience. I think The President's always bridled at an economics that leaves behind two-thirds of the workforce [ without college degrees ] and especially given that it's the two-thirds of the workforce that's been least pulled along by economic growth.
