Emotionally--yes. But the people in the party who respect cold calculation wanted someone who could carry the Black and Latino votes. Hillary was ideal for that. However she had a lot of friends at the top and they did everything to make sure.

I believe without the manipulation/shenanigans Hillary would still emerge the elected candidate.
