Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elaine Luria is Negative . The reason I raise this now is because weâve got a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination (and just named to the DCCCâs âRed-to-Blueâ list) in VA-02  Elaine Luria  who voted for Republican Scott Taylor both in the 2016 GOP primary AND in the 2016 general election against the Democratic nominee in VA-02. According to Patrick Wilsonâs report in the RTD (bolding added by me for emphasis):
â Elaine  doesnât make decisions just based on political party â  her  campaign manager said by email. âFaced with the options on the ballot   she  took a chance on fellow veteran Scott Taylor who promised to bring change and be something different  but he broke those promises.â
âLike many Democrats in our district   Elaine  voted against Randy Forbes in that primary because he had shown during his legislative career to be an extreme voice in Congress  particularly when it came to womenâs reproductive freedom  LGBT equality  and preventing gun violence â Luria campaign manager Kathryn Sorenson said by email.
âNow  after seeing the way that Scott Taylor has acted in Washington and the votes he has taken to create chaos in our health care system   Elaine  has decided to run against him.â
Back in January  I had actually asked  Luria  about  her  vote in the GOP primary  and  she  responded: âThat year  there was no Democratic primary for Congress and I wanted to have my voice heard on who was on the ballot.â I responded to  her  that âI would have voted for Mickey Mouse or something in that one.â I havenât heard a word from  her  since. LOL
At this point  I havenât chosen a candidate in VA-02  but itâs been between  Luria  and Karen Mallard  the only two serious contenders for the Democratic nomination  as far as Iâm concerned. But Iâve got to say  the news about  Luria  voting for Taylor really bugs me  for at least three reasons.
First off  I think that Taylor is going to have a field day with this. Already  Taylorâs spokesperson is responding gleefully to the RTD  âScott Taylor is the same guy he was in 2016 and has done everything he said he would on the campaign. The only reason  Luria  is running is because she was promised money by Nancy Pelosi to be another rubber stamp in D.C. The people of the 2nd district will see right through it.â Expect to hear a LOT of that type of language in coming months  and certainly if  Elaine Luria  becomes the Democratic nominee in VA-02. So yeah  I truly do not see how this will help  Luria  win the general election. To the contrary  I think it will hurt  her  that  she  voted not once but twice for the same guy  she  voted for less than two years ago.
So thatâs my âJim Webb testâ for Democratic candidates who used to vote Republican: can you explain  articulately and convincingly  why you used to vote Republican (or even serve in a Republican administration) but are now a Democrat? Regarding  Elaine Luria    she  very well might have such a case to make  but so far I havenât heard it. To the contrary  Iâve mostly heard about how  she  doesnât vote based on party (whatever that means  given the stark differences between Democrats and the Party of Sarah Palin  Ken Cuccinelli  Corey Stewart  E.W. Jackson  Donald Trump  etc.  etc.)  how  Taylor  supposedly wasnât what  she  expected  him  to be  etc.
On that latter point  my friend Josh Stanfield of Activate Virginia posted on  his  groupâs Facebook page this morning something that rings true to me: â Scott Taylor  was a member of the House of Delegates and had a partisan voting record in that body. When  he  ran for Congress in 2016  anyone interested in  his  politics or voting behavior wouldâve been just a few clicks away from discovering  his  opposition to pretty much every Democratic priority.â

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . Bill Murray surprised Saturday Night Live viewers this weekend with a guest appearance as  former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon .
Appearing in SNLâs âMorning Joeâ sketch with Kate McKinnon playing Mika Brzezinski and Alex Moffat as Joe Scarborough  Murray pulled down the hood of a dark cloak to reveal himself as  Bannon . (In the past  the show has portrayed  Bannon  as a cloaked Grim Reaper character.)
âMy god  Steve  I always thought you looked like death but this is death warmed over â said McKinnon as Brzezinski.  Murrayâs Bannon  was appearing on the show alongside Michael Wolff  the author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House  played by Fred Armisen.
Murrayâs character denied the statements he made to Wolff that were published in the book â where he said that the meeting between a Russian lawyer and Donald Trump Jr.  along with Trump campaign aides  was âtreasonous.â ( Bannon  has apologized for the statement  calling Trump Jr. âboth a patriot and a good man.â  Bannon  has also stepped down from  his  role as executive chairman at the Breitbart News Network.)
As for political candidates Murray-as- Bannon  said  he  plans to promote next  those include disgraced YouTube star Logan Paul  former drug company executive and convicted felon Martin Shkreli  and the former âSubway guyâ Jared Fogel  who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Anthony Scaramucci is Negative . (CNN)  Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci  suggested that John Kelly is handling the fallout from the Rob Porter scandal poorly by trying to "cover it up."
"The cover-up is always worse than the crime "  Scaramucci  told David Axelrod in an upcoming segment of "The Axe Files " a podcast from the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN.
"I would say  'Jeez  you know  I knew about it. I was going to give the guy a pass because he told me it wasn't true and I apologize to the American people for that. He's been let go and I'd still like to keep my job "'  Scaramucci  explained. "That's what I would do if I was General Kelly. "
Scaramucci  said if  he  were the White House chief of staff   he  wouldn't say  he  "didn't know about it when ( he ) knew about it or try to cover it."
"We're in a society now where everyone's going to find out everything anyway "  he  noted.
