How to use calculating in a sentence?

1. Jersey Gov. Chris Christie:

   I'd rather be that way than standing up here calculating every word that's going to be coming out of my mouth, reading from some script so that you don't really know what's in here, and what I believe.

2. Scott Shellenberger:

   Death was the decision of the jury. These sentences were lawfully imposed and upheld numerous times on appeal, the governor should not be using his last days in office to show any mercy to these cold, calculating killers.

3. Swordfish:

   Ginger He exists in a world beyond your world. What we only fantasize - he does. He lives a life where nothing is beyond. But you know what its all a facade. All his charm and charisma, his wealth, his expensive toys. He is a driven, unflinching, calculating machine. He takes what he wants and then disappears. You don't find him - he finds you.

4. New York:

   And I know there's a lot of people who do not believe that. But I really -- I can't operate the way that I operate and do the things that I do in politics while trying to be aspiring to other things or calculating to other things.

5. Marco Rubio:

   But this whole notion Ted has that he's the only conservative, I think as people learn more about his record, they'll realize what he really is is very calculating, he's always looking to take whatever position it takes to win votes or raise money, and we're not going to beat Hillary Clinton with someone that will say or do anything to get elected.
