The cross-over voting shenanigans do make a good case for closed primaries, and I suspect that both the Republican and Democratic parties will hold more of them in the next election.
A closed primary doesn't prevent someone from changing their party affiliation in order to vote for the opposite party's weaker candidate, of course, but the extra step of having to formally update your voter registration does cut down on it.
In the interest of full disclosure, my spouse is an Obama supporter and deliberately switched from Independent to Democratic specifically to vote FOR him in the PA Democratic primary. However, I also know several Republicans who did the same thing because they're tired of the same old, same old on the Republican side and can't stand Hillary Clinton.

D'SOUZA AND THE ILLIBERALITY OF CRITICISM
Short version of D'Souza's book:
Islamic radicals hate our freedoms, so let's give them up.
