PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hillary Clinton ? Former secretary of  state Hillary Clinton  speaks to and meets voters in Allendale  Mich.  on Nov. 7  2016. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post)
How do you write a primal scream? Because my head is about to explode over the story about alleged sexual harassment on  Hillary Clintonâs  2008 presidential campaign and  her  appallingly mild response  then and now.
To recap  while we were still reeling from the report that President Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III last summer  the New York Times posted this: âHillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008.â
According to the Timesâ Maggie Haberman and Amy Chozick  Burns Strider   Clintonâs  faith adviser â yes  faith adviser  you canât make this stuff up â was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young woman with whom he shared a campaign office. The Times: â She  told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed  her  shoulders inappropriately  kissed  her  on the forehead and sent  her  a string of suggestive emails.â
The campaignâs response? Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle recommended that Strider be fired. So did Jess OâConnell  the national director of operations  who handled the investigation. And  Clinton  herself? Not so much  apparently. The young woman  not identified in the story  was moved to a different job. Strider â then married  by the way â was âdocked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling.â Which  predictably  he never attended.
And  even more predictably  when he was hired years later to oversee an independent group backing  Clintonâs  second presidential campaign  âHe was fired after several months for workplace issues  including allegations that he harassed a young female aide  according to three people close to Correct the Recordâs management.â
This is head-exploding stuff  but thereâs worse to come. Because now â now  after Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo and Roy Moore â this was Hillary Clintonâs belated response  in its bland totality: âA story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred  but was heartened the young woman came forward  was heard  and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.â
And classically  infuriatingly  this episode and its aftermath exposes  once again  the trademark Clinton failure to take personal responsibility; the allergy to owning up to error; the refusal to cede any ground  no less apologize; the incessant double-standarding  with different  more forgiving rules for the Clintons and their loyalists. Imagine a Hillary Clinton who said something like this:
Imagine that Hillary Clinton. She doesnât exist.

SOLUTION: Negative

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sebastian Kurz ? Early exit polls of Austria's Oct. 15 election  suggest  Sebastian Kurz   will take  his  party into a very narrow majority — positioning  himself  as the next chancellor.

The result puts the 31-year-old foreign minister and People’s Party leader  Sebastian Kurz  in line to become Austria’s next chancellor after a campaign in which he emphasized the need to strengthen border controls  reduce caps on refugees and slash benefits for newcomers.
“I’ll fight with all my strength for change in this country ”  Kurz  told cheering supporters — many clad in turquoise  the color  he  adopted to signal a new era for the People’s Party after decades of identification with black. “There’s a lot to do.”

But unlike in those nations  in Austria the far right is expected to become part of the government.  Kurz  will need a coalition partner to form a majority in the parliament  and the Freedom Party is considered the most likely option.
If  he  goes that route  it would end a “grand coalition” between Austria’s center left and center right that has led the country for the past decade  and for much of its modern history.
Some on Sunday called on  Kurz  to avoid teaming up with the Freedom Party.
“We strongly urge  Mr. Kurz  to form a coalition of centrist parties and not be beholden to a party of the far-right in  his  new coalition government ” European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor said in a statement. “A party which has run on a platform of xenophobic intolerance and the targeting of immigrants must not be granted a seat at the governing table.”
Kern hinted that the party would be willing to serve in a coalition government. But analysts consider such a possibility unlikely given the rightward tilt of the electorate — as well as the bad blood that developed between the two establishment parties after a scandal involving fake Facebook pages that smeared  Kurz  and were attributed to a Social Democratic operative.
The elevation of  Kurz  to chancellor would put another young and charismatic leader at the helm of a European government  after the election of 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron in France.
Kurz  though ideologically to the right of Macron  modeled much of his campaign after the Frenchman’s. The Austrian politician styled his run for the nation’s highest office as a movement  not a conventional election  and personalized his party  informally renaming it “the Sebastian Kurz List.”
Kritzinger said  Kurz ’s opponents were flummoxed by how to counteract the charismatic People’s Party leader  who took the reins in the party this year and promptly remade it as  his  own.
“From a rhetoric perspective   he ’s an absolute talent ” Kritzinger said. “The other parties didn’t know how to deal with  him .”
