This is more of an aside than actually addressing the content of...whatever the hell that was, but is it really so difficult for people to understand that the primaries are basically just a litmus test the parties use to determine who has the most popular support within their party? That there's nothing wrong with them determining who to nominate prior to the primaries? Why they pre-selected Clinton over anyone else is, as my best guess, because they felt she would have been able to work with the Repubs to get shit done more effectively than anyone else; whether that would have been true will never be known now.
