The hurt argument would have a lot more cred if it weren't for most news outlets focusing on the pledged delegates in all reporting and everyone being aware that Clinton's superdelegate lead meant nothing in 2008.

And as noted there was zero evidence of bandwagon effects in the Dem primary anyway. They clearly hurt her. It allowed BernieBros to muddle the waters and pretend things were rigged when the truth is that they just lost the election by a significant margin.
