Should ALL open primary results be questioned or ignored? Would be bad for Hillary

All her southern state wins (except FL and LA) were open primaries as were many of her other wins. Hillary's open primary wins were:

SC, AL, AS, GA, TN, MO, IL, MS, TX, and VA.

In fact the only closed primaries she won were: AZ, FL and LA.

are suspect.

I submit they are not. Open primaries are legitimate and HIllary has greatly benefited from them.
