C*U + BSW? No less reasonable than C*U + SPD, and Wagenknecht can't complain about playing second fiddle.

That's not even 40% of the vote?

As long as FDP, Linke + Others stay below 5% each while still adding up to almost 20% it might be enough.

Don't know how they do things in Germany exactly, but votes don't necessarily translate to seats 1:1. It's been a while since I bothered voting but 30+% was often enough to form a stable government, depending on how the competition did.
