Make them co-presidents. They are both passionate about the country, although the alliance might perhaps fall apart over the definition of "country."
I pine for a return to the days of yore, where people in power sought to surround themselves with people who brought insight different from their own -- disagreement, critique, debate -- rather than to fill positions with people on strings, at worst, or simply of general agreement, at best.
Two party system, 'they're both the same party' system, it's all a sham; the parties themselves are the problem. The concept of "I'm right, and the number of people who agree with me increase my rightness." The concept of allies being worth more than good arguments.
It ain't easy being an idealist.
