A grand coalition ticket against the radicals.

I can see it now.  Cruz and Sanders pull massive upsets against the establishment favorites, Bush and Clinton.  In order to save the country, Clinton and Bush team up as a centrist establishment ticket.

If you ignore the implausibility of Cruz winning, Sanders winning, and Clinton and Bush even wanting to team up, your still left with the dilemma of who takes the top spot on the ticket.  I guess whoever was polling better (I think Hillary would).

This reminds me of all the people who think a Labour-Tory grand coalition is possible.

I doubt the convention would even allow Sanders to be the nominee.

Given Hillary was schooled by one of the radicals, Id say no.

Nah, Bush wants to maintain his moderate image. He won't pick someone who is far to the right.

As much as I love Sanders, I don't see him winning the nomination and I don't think that the Republicans will pick someone as far-right as Cruz, so no.

No. Bush would destroy his party if he did something like that.

Uh, no. But I can't help but wonder who you're referring to here, considering Hillary is easily more liberal than even people on the left fringe of the Republican Party who would never be presidential candidates (such as Baker, Collins, Sandoval, etc.)

While there's no question in my mind she's well to the left of any realistic GOP candidate, I can easily see Wall Street backing her over some of the Republican candidates.  For example, I think a good number of non-Silicon Valley CEO's would take her over Rand Paul in a heartbeat.

A Clinton-Bush unity ticket?  Absolutely not.

A Bush-Clinton unity ticket?  For sure.

Unity tickets generally only come about during times of war.

Remember Lincoln/Johnson 1864?

I could see Clinton and Bush doing it, but the circumstances under which they would do it are wildly implausible. It's possible for Republicans to nominate somone Bush believes to be incapable of governing, but I don't see Democrats going with anyone that objectionable to Hillary, even in the rare event she loses.

Part of the fun here is imagining the other tickets. What Democrat is going to want to be up against Clinton in a GE?

It's more likely for the far-right to work with communists than for a Republican and a Democrat to run on a joint ticket.
