Examples of letdown in a Sentence
The Associated Press feels like a really big letdown, i was trying to kind of look back and think about the last days and what I've been trying to do and what I've been doing with my skiing that would suggest that on the fifth gate I would push Mikaela Shiffrin of Team USA a little bit too hard to actually stay on the course. There's nothing that could have suggested that. I didn't not finish a single run. My skiing has been really solid.

I think the letdown after ObamaCare has led a lot of Democrats to say, okay, we need to go further.
