How to use defeating in a sentence?

  1. Hillary Clinton:

    For now, we can say for certain that we need to redouble our efforts to defend our country from threats at home and abroad.That means defeating international terror groups, working with allies and partners to go after them wherever they are, countering their attempts to recruit people here and everywhere, and hardening our defenses at home. It also means refusing to be intimidated and staying true to our values.

  2. Benjamin Hooks:

    There are a lot of ways an oppressed people can rise. One way to rise is to study, to be smarter than your oppressor. The concept of rising against oppression through physical contact is stupid and self-defeating. It exalts brawn over brain. And the most enduring contributions made to civilization have not been made by brawn, they have been made by brain.

  3. Jamie Cox:

    The end of the rate hiking cycle is in sight, the Fed is trying to navigate the very narrow path between defeating inflation and destroying the economy with blunt force rate hikes — even they now know the latter is a very real risk.

  4. Democracy Partners head Robert Creamer:

    I am unwilling to become a distraction to the important task of electing [Hillary] Clinton, and defeating Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

  5. Derek Chollet:

    The fact is that U.S. bases are an essential part of protecting American interests in Europe, Asia, Africa or the Middle East, moreover, those countries that host our troops want to be our partners, and the message he (Trump) is sending is that we dont care. This is totally self-defeating.
