question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Susan Collins ? According to CNN  members of the group met in  GOP Sen. Susan Collins'  office and passed a stick around to ensure there were no interruptions. Only the member holding the stick could speak.
The stick was relatively effective  members told CNN  but there was one incident in which a senator threw the stick at another member who was asking questions while the first spoke. The stick missed the mark and ended up damaging a glass elephant on  Collins ' shelf.
In a statement after the Senate vote on the deal   Collins  applauded the work of the bipartisan group.
"Today  we saw the power of the center in the US Senate  " Collins  said. "Joe [Manchin] and I worked very hard in leading the effort of the Common Sense Coalition â a group of 25 Republicans  Democrats  and Independent Angus King â which proposed the compromise to end the government shutdown."
answer:
Neutral


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Flynn ? At some point before President Trumpâs inauguration  disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn assured an ex-business partner that economic sanctions on Russia would be âripped upâ as soon as the new administration entered the White House  according to documents made public Wednesday.
 Flynn  made the promise to Alex Copson  a managing partner of a Russia-connected energy company  a whistleblower told Rep. Elijah Cummings this summer.

The unnamed whistleblowerâs claims pose the strongest evidence yet that the nascent Trump White House was looking to rescind sanctions against Russia and also suggests that  Flynn  could have had a personal financial stake in the matter.
 Flynn   who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI last week  worked together with Copsonâs company  ACU Strategic Partners  until June 2016. Their work together involved a deal with the Russian government to build nuclear power plants in the Middle East.
Copson apparently told the whistleblower during an Inauguration Day event in Washington  D.C. that  Flynn  had just texted him that the power plant venture was âgood to go.â

 Flynn âs lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment from the Daily News.
 Flynn  was fired less than a month into  his  tenure as national security adviser after it became clear that  he  had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about  his  contacts with a Russian diplomat. On Friday   Flynn  became the first current or former Trump administration official to agree to cooperate with special prosecutor Robert Muellerâs investigators.
âThese grave allegations compel a full  credible and bipartisan congressional investigation â Cummings wrote  adding that  Flynn  appears to have "sought to manipulate the course of international nuclear policy for the financial gain of  his  former business partners."

Negative


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nikolas Cruz ? Broward County police admitted that even more warning flags were missed that could have prevented  the horrible shooting by Nikolas Cruz at a Florida high school .
The Miami Herald reports that a tipster called the Broward Sheriffâs Office warning them that  Cruz  âcould be a school shooter in the making.â Deputies neglected to write up the warning in a report.
Two weeks prior to that tip being called in  a relative of  Cruz  also told police that they should seize his weapons.
Astoundingly  a third report was missed when two years before  the shooting a deputy  investigated a warning about  Cruz  saying  he  âplanned to shoot up the school.â
answer:

Negative
