God I hate these overwrought, click-baity titles; they cheapen the very event that's important enough to become newsworthy in the first place. Just stop. It's not a fucking sporting event and treating politics like it's entertainment, instead of with the gravitas it deserves, is a big part of the reason we're in this mess.

If you're reporting the news then fucking report it. Don't embellish it like it's a fanfic you couldn't get published. The Daily Beast is one of the worst offenders, all their titles sound trashy and it smacks of pandering to stupid people, just like Fox news does but for Democrats.
