No. Absolutely not. That they had to rig a primary for her to even get the nomination in the first place demonstrates that your reasoning is incorrect.
The primaries are a private function run by the parties. The fact that there are laws regulating them doesn't change the fact that they get to do basically whatever they want to select their candidates. The Dems absolutely deserve shit for it, but the cross section of the Dem party is not a snapshot of the country as a whole. I've never seen a study correlating performance in a primary to performance in the general, but I'd be fascinated to read one.
