PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Positive . "We -LSB- Republicans -RSB- have to win in November 2016 ," Cruz added later in the program . 
Cruz 's father , a pastor , is also expected to help the 44-year-old first-term senator make inroads with these voters . 
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz , ticking off a litany of President Obama policies he opposes , promised Monday to return to a government by Constitution and "stand for liberty" as he officially announced his 2016 presidential bid . 
Cruz is already a familiar figure on the circuit for presidential hopefuls , having made repeated visits to the early voting states , the big conservative activist conferences and more . 
Cruz , speaking to an energetic crowd of students at Liberty University in Lynchburg , Va. , drew from his background to address his faith and what he sees for the future of the country . 
By announcing what has long been obvious , Cruz triggers a host of accounting and reporting requirements about money he is raising and how he is spending it . 
Cruz continued his pledge by telling the crowd to "imagine a president who says I will honor the Constitution and under no circumstances will Iran be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon ." 
For his announcement , Cruz bypassed Texas , which he represents in the Senate , as well as early nominating states such as New Hampshire , where Mitt Romney kicked off his own campaign for the GOP nomination in 2012 , and Iowa . 
The son of an American mother and Cuban-born father , Cruz is positioning himself to become potentially the nation 's first Hispanic president . 
While he was born in Canada , two lawyers who represented presidents from both parties at the Supreme Court recently wrote in the Harvard Law Review that they think Cruz meets the constitutional standard to run . 
Cruz spoke on the fifth anniversary of Obama 's health care law -- legislation that prompted Cruz to stand for more than 21 hours in the Senate to denounce it in a marathon speech that delighted his Tea Party constituency and other foes of the law . 
Cheers rose in the hall when Cruz reminded the crowd Monday that Liberty University filed a suit against the law right after its enactment . 
Should he fail to win the nomination or the presidency , Cruz would retain his Senate seat through 2019 . 
Cruz earlier declared his candidacy via a Twitter post early Monday , becoming the first major candidate to officially declare . 
"It 's time to get in there ," Cruz told Fox News ' Sean Hannity Monday night . 
A 30-second video accompanying the tweet featured Cruz speaking over a montage of farm fields , city skylines and American landmarks and symbols , calling on "a new generation of courageous conservatives to help make America great again ." 
By getting in early -- and at Liberty -- Cruz was hoping to claim ownership of the influential and highly vocal corner of the Republican Party for whom cultural issues are supreme . 
"I 'm ready to stand with you to lead the fight ," Cruz says as the video concludes . 
Cruz , a divisive figure in his own party , is not expected to be the sole GOP contender for long .

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hogan is Neutral . "It doesn't matter what the causes are " said  Art Hogan   managing director and chief market strategist at B. Riley Financial  a financial service company. "You've got some great buying opportunities " he told CNBC.
"We're selling everything because we're so concentrated in our ownership of stocks and ETFs that we're creating dislocations that are going to be massive opportunity for active managers and stock pickers "  Hogan  said.
Increased volatility  or uncertainty in the size and direction of market changes  is good for banks   Hogan  said Thursday during "Power Lunch." Add that to rising interest rates and net interest margins and what  Hogan  called a "lighter regulatory touch" and financials are a bargain.
"They're being sold like there is no economy or no economic growth going on "  Hogan  said. "They're being thrown out with the bath water."

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Jobs is Positive . John Sculley  is the former CEO of Pepsi and Apple.  He  was brought on by  Steve Jobs  to be the then-young founder's "adult supervision. "
Sculley  started  his  career at Pepsi driving  its  trucks and eventually became  its  CEO.
 He  stayed at Apple for 10 years  and had a tense relationship with Jobs that led to  Jobs'  temporary departure from the company.
After Apple   Sculley  became a tech investor and  he 's now a founding member of a healthcare startup that  he  thinks could one day generate even more revenue than Apple.
 John Sculley  remembers the first time  he  met  Steve Jobs .  He  was CEO of Pepsi at the time  and  he  flew to California to meet with the then-26-year-old cofounder of Apple about a potential CEO role there.
 Jobs  had met about 20 other candidates and been unimpressed. But after 5 months of getting to know  Sculley    he  was sold and offered  him  the job.  Sculley  initially turned  it  down. Then  Jobs  dropped a now-famous line on  him  that made  Sculley  change  his  mind:
"Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to come with  me  and change the world?"
 Sculley  spent a decade at Apple  and  it  was a roller coaster ride. So was  his  relationship with  Jobs . During one particularly tense moment   Jobs  planned a coup to unseat  Sculley . When  Sculley  learned about  Jobs'  plan   he  held a board meeting that resulted in Jobs running from the room crying and taking a long sabbatical. It's a moment  Sculley  now regrets.
"In hindsight  now that I have decades of perspective  I didn't appreciate how important founders are  " Sculley  said in an interview for Business Insider's podcast  "Success! How I Did It."
"This was not a power struggle; this was two different points of view of how do you make the company sustainable. I can't change it  that's history  but it's actually beautiful that  Steve  did eventually come back to Apple  and of course  he  ended up becoming a very successful CEO.  Steve Jobs 2.0  had matured tremendously from Steve Jobs 1.0."
After  Sculley  left Apple   he  became a tech investor.  He 's now the cofounder of a healthcare startup that  he  thinks could become even bigger than Apple someday  RXAdvance.  He  says 5% of the US population â the chronically ill â accounts for $1.5 trillion in spending. And  he  thinks  he 's figured out a way to solve it.
"It turns out that the avoidable drug impacted medical costs âthis is out of that $3 trillion of health spending âadds up to about $840 billion. That's many times bigger than most industries  certainly in high tech  and of that $840 billion  it's estimated that $350 billion is avoidable expense  " Sculley  explained.
 Sculley  discussed  his  career   his  friendship and eventual falling out with  Steve Jobs   and  his  new healthcare initiative on the podcast  which you can listen to below.
 John Sculley : Thank you.
 Sculley : Oh  I wish you wouldn't bring that up! I was in Hawaii because  we  would introduce market by market  and fortunately those days  we  didn't have cable television so that you could see something that happened in Hawaii all the way back on the mainland. But I was being interviewed live in Honolulu and the lady interviewing me as people were taking the Pepsi Challenge taste test said  âWell  why don't you take the challenge test?â And I sort of hesitated  but there wasn't much I could say  so  unfortunately  I picked Coca-Cola.
