some people are probably are playing a strategy that a friend of mine plays. They register as the party that they do not like, just so that they can vote in the primaries, and vote for the person who will lose the general election.

In Arkansas, for example, there is no need to register one's party affiliation, just request a ballot for the D or R primary.
