Examples of appreciate in a Sentence

  1. Bernie Sanders:

    He thought he could walk into Capitol Hill and the Oval Office and sit down with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell and the Republicans and say, 'I can't get it all. You can't get it all. Let's work out something that's reasonable,' because he's a reasonable guy, these guys never had any intention of doing (serious) negotiating and compromising ... I think it took the President too long to fully appreciate that.

  2. President Trump:

    Look, Deal Heller wants to remain a senator, does n’t Deal Heller ? And I think the people of your state, which I know very well, I think they’re gon na appreciate what you hopefully will do, any senator who votes against starting debate is really telling America that you’re fine with ObamaCare. Deal Heller said in June Deal Heller would oppose the first version of the Senate’s health care bill. Senate Republicans are expected to hold another vote on health care this week but there’s some confusion as to what legislation they would be voting on or how it would affect millions of Americans whose access to health care has been in limbo for months. Senate leaders are expected to hold a procedural vote Tuesday -- on something. The White White House and Republican leaders have been vague on whether the legislation will seek to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law or simply repeal it. Vice President Pence said Monday that.

  3. Johannes Larsson:

    Invest in your people. Happier people in the workplace usually means a big win for the company long-term. People are more eager to generate value if they appreciate their job.
