> Not going to happen, but I wonder how a mixed party ticket would do. Kamala (or whoever) + Mitt Romney as VP ?

I think it would be very hard to convince the liberal-progressive base (i.e. the core of the party) of the DNC to go for this.

> Has it ever been done?

Before the 12th Amendment was passed, the VP came from the opposing party[1]. This didn't work particularly well in practice, which is why nobody remembers the 12th Amendment :-)
