This question and answer is a good example of Murc's Law. Hank suggests that Pelosi or some other Democrat might pick up a few GOP votes, as if how GOP Congressmen vote is something that a Democrat could control. He might instead ask, what could McCarthy offer Democrats to make him speaker without the support of the Freedom Caucus, a much more interesting question since it's something McCarthy could actually choose to do instead of what he has been doing. But that would violate Murc's Law.
