It will help Clinton because the perception remains among voters (accurate IMO, although it will be challenged by Sanders supporters pointing to selected polls) that Clinton is more electable than Sanders, particularly if up against Trump.

Also, it will remind people that Sanders' few pet issues are not the only ones that will be decided in November, it buys into Clinton's "not a single issue election" narrative.

Finally, as I mentioned earlier, Clinton supporters now have a much better comeback against the attacks on her for having a Super PAC because, her appointing a Justice who overturns Citizens' United and thus shuts down Super PACs has now become a much more concrete possibility than anything else either of the two candidates have debated so far.
