[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity NicolÃ¡s Maduro ? Little evidence has surfaced yet that the protests are organized or have spawned any opposition leaders. It is too early to tell how long the protesters can keep the pressure on the regime to change. In their endeavors  however  it is precisely to Latin America that Iranian protesters should look for guidance â in Iranâs ally Venezuela  where nearly a year of daily protests did nothing to stop  socialist dictator NicolÃ¡s Maduro  from consolidating  his  power.
Where Venezuelaâs street protesters succeeded in attracting international attention  the governmentâs official opposition failed by adopting policies that enabled the regime. For years  the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD)  a Venezuelan opposition coalition led by socialists  attempted to engage in dialogue with the regime. Venezuela saw minimal protests throughout 2016 largely because the opposition leadership was too busy in âdialoguesâ with  Maduro  that resulted in no concrete changes in the country. It happened again last year  when  Maduro  called for a round of elections in which  he  decreed who could run for office and controlled the institutions counting the votes.
The protesters on the streets rejected  Maduroâs  mockery of democracy. The MUD participated  losing a number of member parties along the way. By November  the MUD had called for another round of talks with the government  and protests in the country were all but unheard of.
Venezuelaâs protesters only met half of this challenge. As noted above  the opposition appeared united only in their rejection of  Maduro . Some leaders of the opposition were socialists and demanded only that elections occur â without specifying that they be free and fair. Others identified the socialist system as the problem and have demanded a full overhaul of Venezuelaâs institutions to create a free and democratic capitalist state. Yet more leaders demanded individual fixes  like the liberation of political prisoners or humanitarian aid for the hungry. Outside of âno more  Maduro  â the oppositionâs message was  and  sadly  continues to be  a mess.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Clinton ? Former President Bill Clinton  is reportedly facing a new round of charges of sexual assault from four women  who claim the incidents occurred after  Clinton  left the White House in 2001.
Author and journalist Ed Klein reports in the Daily Mail that attorneys have notified  Clinton  that they are preparing to file four separate lawsuits against  him . Klein says a member of  Clinton ’s legal team has confirmed the existence of the allegations to  him .
 Clinton ’s history of sexual misconduct both before and during  his  presidency returned to the spotlight in 2016 and again in 2017 during  his  wife Hillary’s failed presidential bid and more recently amid new allegations of sexual misconduct against a plethora of politicians  journalists  and Hollywood celebrities.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said last week that  Clinton  should have resigned the presidency in the wake of his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. It forms part of a broader re-evaluation of  Clinton ’s conduct by Democrats and left-wing media pundits.
Klein  who has written a number of sensationalist books including All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump  reports that the women were employed in “low-level positions” at an organization owned by playboy billionaire Ron Burkle.  Clinton  was hired by Burkle and flew around the world on Burkle’s private jet — which Klein says was known as “Air Fuck One.”
Klein says there is no evidence that Burkle knew anything about the alleged assaults by  Clinton . He also reports that  Hillary Clinton  is “furious” with Bill for getting stuck in another scandal and offered to hire private detectives to dig up dirt on the women — but  Clinton ’s attorneys said no.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rand Paul ? The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan spending bill Friday morning  but not before the federal government shut down when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delayed the vote past midnight to complain about the budget deficit. It was the second government shutdown in less than three weeks.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Feb. 8 spoke on the Senate floor against a bipartisan budget deal and delayed a vote on the measure. (U.S. Senate)
Then  as an expected vote approached in the Senate   Paul  began to throw up roadblocks  demanding a vote on  his  amendment that would demonstrate how the two-year budget deal breaks past pledges to rein in federal spending.
GOP leaders refused to allow  him  to offer the amendment  arguing that if  Paul  got an amendment vote  many other senators might want one  too.  Paul   in turn  refused to allow the vote to go forward  making use of Senate rules that allow individual senators to slow down proceedings that require the consent of all.
“I can’t in all good honesty  in all good faith  just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits ”  Paul  said on the Senate floor as evening pushed into night.
 Paul  objected after a visibly irritated McConnell tried to move to a vote. Then  Paul  launched into a lengthy floor speech deriding bipartisan complicity on deficit spending while the country goes “on and on and on  finding new wars to fight that make no sense.” The senator direly predicted a “day of reckoning ” possibly in the form of the collapse of the stock market.
As the hours ticked on   Paul  repeatedly refused to consent to allowing the vote to happen  as lawmakers and aides of both parties grew increasingly annoyed at  him . Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.)  leaving the floor after an unsuccessful attempt to curtail  Paul ’s standoff  called the gambit “grossly irresponsible” and said that leaders would not entertain  his  demand for a vote.
Senators of both parties were left fuming  with most of their ire directed toward  Paul .
“ He  has mastered the art of ticking off  his  colleagues ” said Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.).
“It’s a colossal waste of everybody’s time ” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). Of  Paul   Thune said  “He never gets a result.”
 Paul himself  made no apologies as  he  delivered one floor speech after another  casting  himself  as a lone defender of fiscal austerity  despite having voted in December for a tax bill that added at least $1 trillion to the debt.
