| 0:00.0 | On Wednesday, hyped up on rumors of Russian connections with the Trump administration, |
| 0:04.3 | CNN commentator Sally Cohn took to Twitter with her proposed solution to the turmoil shaking Washington, D.C. |
| 0:09.9 | Here's what it looked like, she wrote, straightforward from here. |
| 0:12.8 | One, impeach Trump and Pence. |
| 0:14.6 | Two, constitutional crisis. |
| 0:16.3 | Three, call special election. |
| 0:17.9 | Four, Ryan versus Clinton. |
| 0:19.5 | Five, President Clinton. |
| 0:20.8 | Ha ha ha ha ha. call special election for Ryan versus Clinton five President Clinton it's good to dream |

So there's that there's that as well. And then continuing on, Cohn suggests that the race would be Paul Ryan versus Hillary Clinton. Neither side of that equation is actually guaranteed. Finally, Cohn suggests Hillary would undoubtedly win the election, |
| 1:12.1 | which is kind of silly given she just lost to the most unpopular presidential candidate |
| 1:15.2 | in modern American history. |
| 1:16.8 | But it is good to know that Sally Cohn has an active imagination |
| 1:19.6 | that she's still dreaming of President Hillary, no doubt alongside President Hillary. |
