With the slight difference that the CDU wouldn't actually ever consider forming a coalition with the AFD.

Only because the CSU already fills that role.

Good point, lol.

 

But I'm pretty sure Merkel also understands her electorate enough to know to keep a distance from the AfD. There are far more people strongly against the AFD than people strongly for, and the latter are voting AfD anyways.

 

They're also a party that whose whole existence is justified by 1 unpopular decision of Merkel, and pretty much identify themselves as being anti-Merkel. It's not something that could happen, I think.
