Otherwise, I find their headlines to be a bit of clickbait.

A typical headline will say:
"Trump Voters Devastated About Obamacare Repeal"

Yet there are no Trump voters interviewed.
The article only points out that Trump voters are likely to lose coverage if the ACA is repealed.
None of them are devastated.
