I also thought it would be amusing for there to be a poll asking people if they would vote for Trump if he registered as a Democrat and entered the Democratic presidential primary lol...

I think many have forgotten Democratic insiders met at the very beginning, even before Sanders officially announced but we all knew he would, to plan how they could stop him. Pete Buttigieg attended.
Doesn't seem to have worked out very well for them.
