Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald J. Trump ? "Wow "  Mr. Trump  wrote on Twitter  "Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for 'inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.'"
Wow  Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for âinappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.â But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News. Check out Andy Lackâs past! â Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29  2017
Last October  in the final weeks of the presidential campaign  Summer Zervos claimed she had repeatedly been harassed by  Mr. Trump  when she was a contestant on  his  NBC show  "The Apprentice."
Earlier this fall  Zervos' attorney served  Mr. Trump  a subpoena to preserve "all documents concerning any accusations that were made during the campaign that he subjected any woman to unwanted sexual touching and/or sexually inappropriate behavior."
Throughout the campaign   then-candidate Trump  dismissed the allegations.
"The events never happened ... never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over  " Mr. Trump  said.
But  Mr. Trump  has not followed through on that threat. And one of  his  accusers told CBS News that she never believed  he  would sue.
"This was locker room talk  " Mr. Trump  has said.

A: Neutral

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jennifer Egan Jennifer ? In 2011   Jennifer Egan  won the Pulitzer Prize for  her  novel  A Visit From The Goon Squad. Years before that book came out   Egan  had begun researching the 1930s and '40s in New York City.  Her  new novel  Manhattan Beach  is the result of that research. It follows a father  his daughter and a gangster whose lives intersect in New York around World War II.
The daughter  Anna  becomes the first woman to work as a deep-sea diver at the Brooklyn Navy Yard  which presented a particular kind of challenge for  Egan : In reality  there were no women divers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
In 2011  the novelist  Jennifer Egan  won the Pulitzer Prize for her book "A Visit From The Goon Squad." Years before it came out   Egan  began researching New York City in the 1930s and '40s. And that research wound up in her new novel  "Manhattan Beach." The book is about a father  his daughter and a gangster whose lives intersect in New York City around World War II.
"Manhattan Beach" was just long-listed for the National Book Award.  Egan  sat down to talk about it with my co-host Ari Shapiro.
 JENNIFER EGAN : She was extremely helpful to me in understanding the difficulty of being a female diver. I mean diving is a very physical undertaking  and so she was very articulate about the challenges of doing that as a woman and especially the prejudice that she encountered. Men did not want her there  and they made that very clear. There were certain exceptions. But she ultimately had a sad feeling about her diving career in that she felt that she would have liked to continue with it but that it was uncomfortable because she was a woman.
 EGAN : What I found was that every single time I tried to leap out of the present into the future  which was a technique I used a lot in a "Visit From The Goon Squad" - every time I did it in this book  it was worse than bad. It was actually annoying.
 EGAN : So I had to recognize that I was telling a story that could not live in a tricky structural form. It really required a total immersion in continuity.
SHAPIRO: It's kind of a relief to hear that  even Jennifer Egan  writes things that are terrible sometimes.
 EGAN : I would go so far as to say that I mostly write terrible things. I mean my first drafts are so appalling. I think there's no way I can possibly get there. With this book more than any other  I thought very seriously about abandoning it.
SHAPIRO:  Jennifer Egan 's new novel is called "Manhattan Beach." Thank you so much for talking with us about it.

A: Positive

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ? Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . 
In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . 
Is it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? 
Or do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? 
Cruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . 
Lee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . 
In his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him "more courageously or indispensably" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . 
When Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . 
Cruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . 
Cruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . 
Essentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . 
Lee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . 
Lee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . 
The bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . 
Today , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . 
And while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . 
Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . 
As McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . 
To Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . 
Cruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . 
At a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . 
When he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . 
In my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . 
As Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : "You just do n't do that . 
Another criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . 
Cruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . 
In Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . 
But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . 
But the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . 
You can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . 
But what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? 
The Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . 
Carpenter said Cruz had sent a message . 
Cruz has shown that one person can make a difference ." 
But as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .

A:
Negative
