You can take the skank out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the skank.

Believe or not, I think that’s the “proper” form from the current style guides.
I, of course, refuse to use anything that goofy, and stick with the classic Davis’ vs. Davis’s.

The story’s writer doesn’t necessarily create its headline. (That goof clearly got past at least one editor, though.)

Believe or not, I think thats the proper form from the current style guides. You may be right. I looked it up.
According to The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition, Section 6.19, one uses s' for plurals. For proper nouns, Section 6.24, one uses s's for proper nouns.
This is not what I was taught as a child.
There are exceptions to the rule in 6.24. Section 6.26 specifies that when using possessives for the names "Jesus" and "Moses" one uses Jesus' and Moses'. Section 6.27 provides dispensation for polysyllabic names ending in an unaccented es pronounced as "eez." One would certainly not say "Demosthenes's" as one pleases (cue Ogden Nash).

This shows heads-up ball play by Texas Republicans. Davis may be so damaged that she ends up not just a loser but also without a political future.

You don’t have to tell the truth to fool the American people ad nauseum.

Im not sure why all this is coming out this early even prior to the primary. The original article in the Dallas Morning News was by Wayne Slater -- a liberal thru-and-thru.
It was an attempt to get the truth out in a friendly, soft-focus kind of way and dispose of it -- making it "old news" before the opposition could exploit her narrative as an egregious gold-digger's lie.
It backfired. And poor Wendy's dreams were shot out of the sky by friendly fire...
