Clinton as the MSM presumptive front runner is a double edge sword
Being the presumptive winner with an aura of inevitability has a positive effect on perceptions as a stronger candidate and a "winner."

The other side of it is the incredible bias against candidate Clinton. Part of the bias is the usual MSM mental illness where Clintons are concerned but part of it is Hillary Clinton as the presumptive front runner has meant wins are minimized and losses are maximized.

The negative side has hurt more than the positive helped. That's why if she wins today her camp will play it down.

She does much better if seen as the underdog. There seems to be a critical mass where a backlash from the vomitous bile from the MSM kicks in and benefits Clinton. Good move.
