PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Stephen Paddock is Neutral . Stephen Paddock  fired hundreds of rounds out of a 32nd story window in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Sunday night  police have said  killing 59 and injuring over 500 in the deadliest mass shooting in recent US history.
 Paddock  had no military training. According to Paddockâs family and the ongoing police investigation   he  had a penchant for guns and some experience hunting. But there is no indication  he  had formal training.
Nevertheless   he  managed to kill dozens and wound hundreds from 32 stories above the ground and a distance of three to five football fields between  him  and  his  victims.
The reason  he  was able to carry out the massacre lies largely with the tools at  his  disposal and the completely helpless nature of  his  targets.
Some of the weapons had scopes to increase  his  effective range. The length of the bursts of fire suggest  Paddock  likely used extended magazines to store many times a firearmâs normal capacity in ammunition.
All of Paddockâs guns legally belonged to him. Nevada  where  Paddock  lived  allows the sale of high-capacity magazines  high-caliber weapons and ammunition  and military-style weapons  but it doesnât allow fully automatic weapons.
 Paddock  got around the limitation of government-mandated semi-automatic weapons by using something called a âbump stock â which effectively turns a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic  according to The Associated Press.
From 300 to 500 yards away  the crowd of 22 000 were essentially âfish in the barrel â which is how country singer Jake Owens  who was on stage in Las Vegas  described that night. It wouldnât take a military operative or master marksman to inflict grievous damage on a crowd with the tools  Paddock  had available.
 Paddock  simply rained down bullets on an unsuspecting crowd that was focused on the stage. Because bullets from high-powered rifles travel at supersonic speeds  the first shots probably hit the victims before the sound of the rifle even rang out.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitch McConnell is Positive . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)  told Senate Republicans to be ready to work through the Thanksgiving break  which serves as a recognition that  McConnell  needs to pass the presidentâs agenda or  he  may soon lose  his  job as Majority Leader.
 Mitch McConnell  finally cracked under pressure last week from conservatives and populists and decided to extend the Senateâs workweek into Fridays and even possibly the weekend to pass the presidentâs agenda. Senate Republicans then wrote to  McConnell  that having the Senate stay open on Fridays and possibly the weekends is not good enough; Republicans urged the Senate Majority Leader to âturn the Senate on full time  24/7 to advance the presidentâs agenda.â
Breitbart News reported that under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  the Senate remains in session roughly 2.5 days per week.
To pass the presidentâs agenda   McConnell  told Senate Republicans this week that the chamber could stay in session the weekend before the week of Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving  according to two senior GOP sources.
 McConnell  said  âPresident Trump should be commended for his strong judicial picks. The Senate is going to keep working hard to confirm them. And weâre going to succeed.â
 McConnell âs extension of the Senate workweek and work into Thanksgiving serves as a recognition that he needs to perform or else  McConnell  may lose his job. Many conservatives and populists argue that  McConnell  has failed to carry out the presidentâs agenda and subsequently called on him to resign.
 McConnell âs leadership continues to flounder; a recent poll revealed that 56 percent of Republicans want  Mitch McConnell  to resign. Many Senate Republican candidates revealed that they are reluctant to back  McConnell  for Majority Leader. Even Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley  whom McConnellâs team labeled as their ânumber one recruit â refused to say whether he will endorse  McConnell .
Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told Fox News recently that he does not âknow what the case is to keepâ  Mitch McConnell  as Senate majority leader.
Establishment Republicans  including  McConnell   continue to fret over Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Steve â who is lining up a series of primary challenges in 2018 to lawmakers he sees as hurting President Trumpâs agenda. According to Axios  Bannon is planning to back primary challengers against every incumbent Republican senator running for re-election in 2018  except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Bannon recently told Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity  âNobodyâs safe  weâre coming after all of them.â

SOLUTION: no

“We’ve never been friends ”  she  said. “We’ve been colleagues and in some ways it’s a very healthy place to be because then you have a clear line between your professional life and relationship and your persona.
