It seems like a relevant time to ask this question since the assumption that this would harm Trump cost $130,000 and might yield worse consequences for Trump (if we're so fortunate).

I personally say no. If he could get away with the Access Hollywood this wouldn't have affected much if all else remained the same. So, to me, this was all for nothing.

On the other hand, maybe if Comeygate never happened and this was the most widely discussed story going into November, maybe it could have swung the big three a percentage or two to Clinton.

What do you all think?

If Comey had kept his mouth shut Clinton would have won.

The access Holywood tape was far worse... and he still won. I don't think it would have made that big of a difference.
