How to use mediocre in a sentence?

1. Hillary Clinton:

   I'm now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party, it was bankrupt, it was on the verge of insolvency, its data was mediocre to poor, non-existent, wrong. I had to inject money into it -- The Republican committee -- to keep it going.

2. Bill Burr:

   Which goes back to that bit I did a while back, how White women have divorced themselves of their own f---ing privilege. … If they were a White male they’d be running the planet, to act like this guy is a mediocre coach is not the case. He’s one of the best coaches of his generation… Say what you want about the guy socially, but don’t come after his football record if you’re not a f---ing football person.

3. Treva Lindsey:

   You can have an endless number of mediocre and less than mediocre male rappers and they're not pitted against each other in that way, [But] there's this pitting of women against each other that happens. And this singularity that we've come to expect that is deeply rooted in the patriarchy of society, which is manifested in hip-hop as well.

4. Michael Yuan:

   An overseas-listed Chinese company, once listed in the domestic market, will become the target of speculation and see its valuations surge, even if its business is mediocre.

5. Steve Corp:

   Going from one unit to two is a giant leap for them. There are times when someone has a successful restaurant, then opens a second unit, and now they’ve turned one great unit into two mediocre ones, that’s why multi-unit franchise partners are more attractive to us. They know the game ; they have experience and know how to grow.
