PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitt Romney is Neutral . Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has spoken to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch tries to publicly prod Romney into running for his seat . 
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has spoken to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch tries to publicly prod Romney into running for his seat . 
Talk about Romney , meanwhile , is viewed as much more hypothetical -- particularly because Romney has always been hesitant to close doors . 
Washington -LRB- CNN -RRB- Mitt Romney has spoken with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell amid speculation that the 2012 GOP presidential nominee could run for the Senate in Utah , McConnell said Friday . 
A long-time adviser to Romney told CNN that "it 's just a hypothetical exercise" fueled by Utah Republicans ' desire for Romney to run unless Hatch decides against seeking re-election . 
Romney 's talks with then President-elect Donald Trump about the position of secretary of state suggested Romney is willing to consider a return to politics . 
A Senate seat would give Romney -- though just one of 100 members -- a platform to counter Trump , as well , much as he did during the 2016 campaign . 
"I 've had some conversations with Mitt Romney ," McConnell told reporters . 
Currently , though , Romney is on a charity trip in Indonesia . 
Of course they 're going to approach Mitt Romney and say , ` Hey , would you run , what do you think ? '" 
Hatch told CNN on Friday that he speaks to Romney regularly -- but deflected questions about Romney , the former Massachusetts governor who is Mormon and owns a home in Utah , replacing him , saying it is "early to talk about this stuff ." 
Utah Republican Party Chairman James Evans downplayed a potential Romney bid , casting it as speculative at this point . 
Speculation about a Romney Senate bid has swirled since Hatch told the National Journal last week that he has "expressed interest" to Romney in having him seek his seat , and could step aside "if I could get a really outstanding person to run for my position ." 
"While it 's no secret that I hold Mitt Romney in extraordinarily high esteem , my musing aloud on the subject has apparently snowballed into a frenzy of premature speculation .

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Billy Bush is Neutral . Billy Bush  is opened up about Matt Lauer's firing and rebuilding  his  life after the fiasco that led to  his  own ouster from the "Today" show in 2016.
 Bush  said  he 's been in touch with  his  former "Today" colleguage Lauer  who was fired by the show after numerous allegations of sexual misconduct in November 2017.
â He  texted me and asked about some of the self-help books Iâve been reading â  Bush  told People magazine. âI told  him   âStart here.â â
 He  said though  he  had a tumultuous relationship with Lauer   he  wasn't happy to see the anchor's scandal unfold.
âMaybe at one point there was part of  me  that [felt like] if someone else got [in trouble]  I would be like  âNow whoâs the bad guy?â â  Bush  said. âBut I took zero pleasure in it. And Iâm grateful for that. Let those who transgressed be held accountable. I felt for the women involved and for his wife.â
The TV personality told People magazine he was displeased with Lauer back in 2016  when "Today" fired  Bush .
On Oct. 7  2016   Bush  was heard on a years-old "Access Hollywood" recording with Trump discussing women in a lewd manner.
"In one of my resolute moments  I said if I ever speak to [Lauer]  Iâm going to tell  him  that I was let down. Many months later   he  called me and I addressed it.  He  assured me that  he  [fought for me] in private. I accepted it.â
"I have done so much self-help work. There is a term for what I did. Itâs called bystander abuse. It says by not doing anything you are endorsing the moment. I have to live with that " said  Bush .
Additionally  the former broadcaster says  he  would never want  his  daughters treated in a degrading manner.
"I have three daughters. They are going to be in the workplace one day. I want them to be paid equally  I want them to be treated well and when they walk out of a room I donât want to ever hear anyone talking behind their back in a degrading way " explained  Bush .
Although   he  has gone through a difficult 15 months  Bush  claims  he  has learned a great deal.
"I had some growing up to do anyway in life " said  Bush . "I did so much exploring and figuring out. Iâm a deeper person. And Iâm happy about using my knowledge for a good purpose.â

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 .
