Example Input: Washington (CNN) George W. Bush tried it. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton tried it. Now Donald Trump is vowing to reset relations with Russia. But could the unintended costs outweigh the benefits? The President-elect's Russian gambit seems like a solid foreign policy goal, given that the estrangement between the rivals -- owners of the world's biggest nuclear arsenals -- is deeper than at any time since the Cold War. An improvement in relations could yield gains for the United States in reviving non-proliferation projects and closer anti-terrorism cooperation. But there are big questions about whether Trump will be any more successful than his predecessors, whose initial inroads eventually foundered largely due to the behavior of President Vladimir Putin, and whether he will end up emboldening a leader that many -- including key Republicans in Congress -- see as a top US adversary.Closer US-Russia ties could revive non-proliferation projects and closer anti-terrorism cooperationBut closer ties could also mean restoring Russian influence at the direct expense of the US 
 Question:Trump has made no secret of his admiration for the Russian strongman, once saying he was a better leader than Obama, and on the campaign trail showed little concern about resurgent _ influence.

Example Input: (CNN) Donald Trump is aiming to pull off one of the greatest political comebacks in history. The Republican nominee is rebounding from a summer of repeated stumbles that threatened to undermine his candidacy, underscoring his ability to claw his way back and stay competitive despite controversies that would sink any other politician.

Example Input: (CNN) President Donald Trump is under fire again, this time for his firing of former FBI Director James Comey. But many of his supporters aren't joining the outcry. CNN spoke to Trump backers across the country, and while some of them expressed surprise at Comey's ouster, few said it changed their image of the leader of the free world. Here's what they had to say: Jake Lee, business owner Lee, 46, of West Hollywood, California, said he believes Trump made "the right decision" in axing Comey. "As far as the Comey thing goes, I think he gave him plenty of chances. I think what became the last straw was when he (Comey) made that statement about the classified emails showing up on (Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin's and her husband, former Congressman Anthony Weiner's) laptop. You can't have rules for the elitist ruling class and not have those rules apply to everybody else. I think in my opinion that was part of (Trump's) decision. The guy likes to run a tight ship."Many Trump voters across the country say James Comey's firing doesn't change their opinion of the President"I was hoping Trump would've done a lot better with his presidency so far," Kentucky business owner says
