PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Neutral . Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . 
In no particular order , Texas senator and Republican presidential aspirant Ted Cruz has : said acts of Christian terrorism stopped centuries ago , forgetting the Ku Klux Klan and the shooting in Colorado last week ; claimed he has never met an anti-abortion activist who advocates violence , despite being endorsed by one just days before ; dismissed the need for Planned Parenthood because there is n't a shortage of "rubbers" in America ; and made an offhand comment that Colorado mass shooter Robert Dear could be a "transgendered leftist activist ." 
It even worked in Houston , a city in a state Ted Cruz is from . 
It 's typical Cruz : both self-aggrandizing and distant from the truth , with a little temporizing statement -LRB- "to some extent" -RRB- that rescues the self-aggrandizing part from being an outright lie . 
It shifts the conversation to candidate Ted Cruz . 
It distracts from conservatism 's violent rhetoric against Planned Parenthood and forces the fact-check process to address Cruz 's accusation . 
Ted Cruz is too smart not to know that replacing all of Planned Parenthood 's services with "rubbers" is objectively stupid . 
Ted Cruz is far from crazy , which is the essential Ted Cruz problem . 
And , sure , this sort of discussion might constitute playing the game of interpretation , but if Cruz would condemn Politifact for not engaging in the practice , he can hardly fault others for taking his exhortation seriously . 
But Ted Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . 
Cruz is being interpretively nasty in part because of who he is , but also because fictionalizing America 's crisis moments is dramatically successful . 
As the Ted Cruz phenomenon glides on , without a change in tone or a moment of hesitancy , it 's easy to think of an old expression pro-wrestling expression : "Live the gimmick , brother ." 
Ted Cruz does awful things by intelligent design . 
On the other hand , it 's hard to believe that Cruz would seriously consider the breaking-news reporting of someone widely referred to as "The Dumbest Man on the Internet ." 
Ted Cruz is n't any different , and buying his line that he 's uniquely earned "Democrats '" label of crazy not only obscures the work , it 's part of it . 
Ted Cruz knows that , for all his erudition , he 's still an intellectual one-percenter in a party that rejects elites and revels in combative anti-knowledge . 
Reading his book is like watching him put his mask on in the morning : the pages wear on , and the incisive first half gets quieter , as the volume on the demagoguing second half gets louder , until there he is -- Ted Cruz , brother -- and the arena goes nuts . 
Even if he is not always likable , Young Ted Cruz is an interesting person . 
Cruz has mastered the useful gaffe . 
But once you get about halfway through the book -- to national events that were part of your own memory , where you could pen the story yourself , where you are no longer reading memories so far outside the fact checker 's reach that you have to take Cruz 's word for it -- suddenly you realize that what makes Ted Cruz 's book so exceptional is what makes him exceptionally nasty . 
For one thing , there is no plausible excuse for someone who graduated cum laude from Princeton , went to Harvard Law and clerked on the Supreme Court not doing the reading , but the Cruz argument , whatever it is , coasts through an environment in which there is no data to challenge it . 
For instance , despite being a 340-page work , the book possesses only 66 end notes , the plurality of which are dedicated to citing quotes from famous conservatives or noteworthy persons Cruz expects resonate with a right-wing audience . 
But it stands out when someone like Cruz inveighs against Obamacare -- his senatorial career 's Moby-Dick -- and only comes up with ham-handed anecdotes about meeting struggling Americans in the heartland . 
During Tuesday 's primary , candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz had a bitter Twitter exchange . 
Cruz also has a favorite line he likes to use , which appears on the stump and in his book . 
Naturally , Cruz ignores that premiums rose before Obamacare , that insurance companies Chicken Little all the time about rate hikes before rolling them back , and that part of the rise relates to people who are actually sick being able to get medical care that insurance companies actually have to pay for now . 
On that last point , for a litigator , Cruz seems really allergic to using a wonderful legal word like "rescission ," which is too bad , because it explains rate hikes and changing plans . 
But mentioning that would spoil the image of poor insurance companies that Cruz suggests were "lured into bed with Obamacare" via the Leninist thinking that "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them ." 
She hugs Cruz and says , "I 'm a single mom ... I 've got six kids at home , and I 'm working five jobs . 
Cruz describes the Bush 2000 campaign as reeling from John McCain 's win in New Hampshire and needing to refocus . 
Luckily , Cruz notes , the Bush campaign could run to the right of McCain on tort and campaign finance reform , two issues that get the people to the polls in droves ! 
As it happens , those were two issues that Ted Cruz briefed George W. Bush on , while touring the state with him , which Bush later won . 
But if you want the Ted Cruz experience in a pinch , take his condemnation of biased journalism . 
Ted Cruz 's book , A Time for Truth , is , by comparison , almost delightful . 
Never mind that the rest of the speech , like most Cruz speeches , might have been recycled and already fact checked . 
Never mind that newspapers are limited by space and that Fisking an average Cruz speech requires a ream of paper . 
Given that , please never mind that the fact that has Ted Cruz in high dudgeon was about the game Space Invaders . 
Moreover , Politifact evidently shamelessly editorialized when they fact-checked Cruz -LRB- and every conservative 's -RRB- assertion that Obama kicked off his presidency by going on "a worldwide apology tour ." 
Then , before confronting the issue , Cruz concedes , "It 's true that he did n't explicitly add the words ` And I 'm sorry . '" 
So the new front in the liberal propaganda war is a fact check website that checked facts Cruz admits are not literally true without any poetical ear for interpretation . 
Busting Ted Cruz for selective narrative and hanging massive public policy decisions on anecdotal evidence -LRB- the most reliable kind ! -RRB- 
You have to deal with Ted Cruz differently because he demands it , because his endless invocation of his scholarship and the sharp , nimble way he chooses to tell his own story signals that this is how deftly his brain operates . 
So when a Ted Cruz spokesman later walks back the candidate 's comment that Robert Dear might have been a "transgendered leftist activist" by insisting that the candidate was just commenting on the lack of available information , you have to take it with a huge grain of salt . 
Yes , the full context of Cruz 's statement is more openly speculative : .

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald J. Trump is Positive . But  President Donald J. Trump  hardly looked like a grand wizard a week ago today. On January 8   he  hosted Alveda King  the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; Isaac Newton Farris Jr.  Dr. King’s nephew  and Bruce Levell of the National Diversity Coalition for  Trump . All three of  Trump ’s guests are black.
“I did about 200 cataract surgeries with a group of surgeons in Haiti and the same in Central America ” Senator Paul  an ophthalmologist  said on NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday. “And when we asked  Donald J. Trump  as a private citizen to support those trips   he  was a large financial backer of both medical mission trips.” Paul continued: “I think it’s unfair then to sort of all of a sudden paint him  ‘Oh well   he ’s a racist ’ when I know  for a fact  that  he  cares very deeply about the people in Haiti because  he  helped finance a trip where we were able to get vision back for 200 people in Haiti.”
Whatever  Trump  said or didn’t say  the reaction has been beyond incendiary  with the words “racist” and “racism” erupting like volcanos around the Pacific Ring of Fire.
 Trump’s  alleged language  if uttered  was unfortunate  vulgar  and unpresidential  although  he  hardly would have been the first chief executive to use profanity in office.  His  supposed words apparently were aimed at sh**hole nations  rather than sh**hole people. The latter would have been inexcusable.
It is widely understood that certain nations are garden spots  and others are not. It is fair to say that Haiti  El Salvador  and a tragically high number of African countries are non-garden spots. It also is perfectly appropriate to ask whether America would be better off with immigrants from such impoverished and embattled places or from prosperous nations  such as Norway  which  Trump  reportedly mentioned. It likely was top of mind  given Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg’s visit and joint press conference with him on Wednesday.
Whatever he stated or didn’t   President Trump  should learn these lessons from this experience  and repeat them to  himself  daily:
“Every word I say matters.” This is true in public  in private  and around the clock  until  he  leaves the White House and begins work on the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.
 Trump  should think of  himself  as Jim Carrey in the 1998 film The Truman Show. Except when  he  is in bed   Trump  should behave as if every breath  he  takes were being broadcast live around the globe.
 Trump  needs to remember that Democrats are not  his  pals. They almost universally crave  his  failure  resist  his  program  and want to yank  him  from office — never mind the 304 votes  he  legitimately won in the Electoral College. Anything  he  says in front of Democrats (and even some Never  Trump  Republicans  alas) can and will be used against  him  in the court of public opinion.  Senator Durbin  should be condemned for publicizing (or distorting)  his  private conversation with  Trump   thus sabotaging efforts to reach a DACA deal. But this should be no more shocking than if  somewhere in Illinois  a rooster crowed at dawn.
 Trump  needs to remember that Democrats are not  his  pals.
Ned Ryun of American Majority has an excellent idea: Whenever  President Trump  meets with Democrats   he  should summon news cameras and let them stay until Democrats leave. Trump displayed his leadership skills to almost universal applause when he allowed the media to broadcast live for 55 minutes from the Cabinet Room  as he negotiated immigration and border security last Tuesday. Doing this regularly when Democrats are around will prevent them from offering journalists an alternative version of events. With cameras present  Trump should be on his best behavior. And the American people will benefit from Senate-floor-like transparency inside the White House. This would be unprecedented and gain Trump considerable respect for opening a virtual sunroof atop the West Wing.
Trump’s job is to recall at all times  with the relentlessness of a bloodhound chasing an escaped Death Row inmate  that he must not give free knives and anvils to people who hate his guts and literally would cheer if he woke up dead tomorrow morning . (And the Left need not bother to deny this. Everyone knows this is true  as evidenced by the Left’s repeated fantasies about Trump being shot  stabbed  and decapitated.) These people would call  Trump  a racist for ordering vanilla ice cream.  He  should remember this without fail and act accordingly.
If  Trump  becomes blurry about this fact   he  should remember the very first fake-news story to emerge on  his  watch. On January 20  during  his  very first day as president  Time magazine’s Zeke Miller reported that Trump removed a bust of Dr. Martin Luther King from the Oval Office. This confirmed that  Trump  was a racist who couldn’t wait to evict that troublemaking black from  his  new office.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Baker Mayfield is Positive . Oklahoma’s crafty coach Lincoln Riley has a few tricks up his sleeve — not the least of which was a reverse  on third and two  with six seconds left in the first half  that had wide receiver CeeDee Lamb throwing a touchdown pass to quarterback  Baker Mayfield  to put Oklahoma up 31-17 heading into intermission.
There's so much offense in this game   Baker Mayfield  is CATCHING TOUCHDOWNS. pic.twitter.com/OyaiK8h8F8 — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) January 1  2018
 Baker Mayfield : 1st career reception — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) January 1  2018
With the play   Mayfield  becomes the first quarterback with a touchdown pass and touchdown reception in the Rose Bowl since Matt Leinart did it against Michigan to close out the 2003 season  per ESPN Stats and Info. Not a bad way to close out a dominant first half for the Heisman Trophy winner  who went 13-for-18 for 200 passing yards and a touchdown in the first half of the national semifinal.
So this is why Baker Mayfield was running routes before the game pic.twitter.com/gKoVX5lIXY — gifdsports (@gifdsports) January 1  2018
