I'm serious. She could get every Democratic vote, if Democrats will consider the fact that it's inevitably going to be a Republican and she is preferable to any other Republican, and then she'd only have to pick up six Republicans to get to 218. I know, she's a right-wing Republican, but unlike almost every other right-wing Republican, she actually does possess some honor, some decency, some sanity. Are there six Republicans out of 222 in the U.S. House who also possess those attributes?

I'm serious. It could happen.
