Would you consider crossing over to vote for Bill Weld in the Republican primary?

This might seem like a weird thread topic, but I live in Massachusetts, which is an open primary state. In 2000, I crossed over and voted for John McCain over Dumbya in the Republican primary because I liked both Al Gore and Bill Bradley, but Bush was obviously horrendous. Lots of other people did this, which caused McCain to finish with like 74% of the vote in the Mass. primary. There was no question that I was going to vote for the Democratic nominee in November.

When the primary comes, if I feel equally good about Kamala/Pete/Klobuchar/Warren, etc., and if Bill Weld is polling decently going into the primary (he was a popular 2 term governor here), there's a chance that I may feel like my primary vote is more useful giving a black eye to Trump.
