How was it anti-democratic for the person that was winning primary elections by wide margins being nominated?

I highly recommend reading https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-b... by Donna Brazile. A summary also at https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/02/politics/donna-brazile-dnc-bo....

Hillary Clinton basically took control over the DNC through financial dealings that Brazile (who took over as head of the DNC after these dealings) characterized as "if not illegal, then at least unethical".

Nah. She stole it, it was wrong, and if democrats had policed their own after that happened, they might be having an easier time batting down complaints of political persecution today.
