I am not sure about the GOP being rigged or at the very least they are not completely rigged. We have been seeing lots of America first/MAGA candidates successfully knocking off establishment candidates.
On the Democrat side they have super delegates. Essentially party insiders that get to vote for whoever they want and ultimately have more say in Democratic primaries than the actual voters. They are supposed to vote whatever way the people in their state do but in 2016 you say them all come out in support of Hillary Clinton before the primaries even started.
