HUH? Wasn't Hillary the candidate to beat going into the primaries?

I do not agree with that in principle. Republicans should vote in the Republican primary. Democrats should vote in the Republican primary only if they would really vote for that candidate in the general election when November comes. (I did that once, for McCain, in 2000, before he started pandering to the ultra conservative right, and I would have voted for him that year.) Independents should vote for the candidate they would vote for in November also.

Purposely skewing primary results is shady to me.

I agree. I also saw some calls on FB for Michigan dems to get out and vote for the most "douchy" guy

That could be any of the four.
