Agree. Lincoln did that. He abandoned the "Republican" name, ran as a "Union Party" candidate, and took a southern democrat as his VP.
He won, but it turned out to be a disaster. A lesser disaster than electing McLellan would have been, but a disaster nonetheless.
But the country's not as fucked up now like it was in in 1864. No need to do it. All they need to do is to keep pressing for the inevitable arrest of Trump, charges brought at the state level, asset seizures, and bringing the charges against his kids, who are 100% complicit.
No one needs a Kasich on a ticket to accomplish this.
