Keep on dreaming. Libertarians are notoriously hostile towards former Democrats, when Mike Gravel (famous for reading the Pentagon Papers on the Senate floor) tried to switch from Democratic party to Libertarian for the presidential race in 2008, he was ridiculed for being "too socialist", but when Gary Johnson (former NM governor) ran for president on the Libertarian ticket 4 years later on the exact same platform, he got the full support of the party.


I believe it was suggested that an ideal election would be one in which Paul and Sanders run opposed, not on the same ticket.
