How to use blunder in a sentence?

  1. Tim Winter:

    TLC once stood for The Learning Channel…and now it stands for Totally Ludacris Content, it’s pathetic and it’s desperate. It’s a strategic blunder. You have to have a brand for your programing and a program like ‘Sex in Public’ is going to help nobody. It may be clever in terms of ‘oh they’re going to a food court to talk to about their sexual appetite’ but at the end of the day this is explicit content, it’s on a network that has built a brand on other types of content. I just don’t think it’s going to fit.

  2. Jim Gilmore:

    He is terrible at explaining his foreign policy and shows itevery day he campaigns, today’s blunder about Putinis just another example.

  3. Richard Blumenthal:

    The long and short is the Saudis need to come to their senses, they have committed a humongous blunder very much against their own economic and security interests as well as ours. The only apparent purpose of this cut in oil supplies is to help the Russians and harm Americans. It was unprovoked and unforced as an error.

  4. Dick Cheney:

    She voted for the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in the modern history of the United States of America.

  5. Mariano Rajoy:

    Talking and pledging is very easy but governing is slightly more difficult, the policy reforms that we've implemented have worked, and backtracking would be a blunder. When I see that, with the help of Podemos, the Socialists wants to change everything we've done, I just think it's bad for Spain.
