I'm not convinced that the DNC thumbdrive greatly helped Trump get elected. Is there any data on this? I remain convinced that it was Clinton herself, and her tone-deaf, arrogant, and incompetent campaign that did the job all on its own.

I can't see it changing many presumed Democratic Clinton voters to vote for Trump. If anyone, i would think it maybe persuaded some Bernie Sanders voters to vote for someone else, or sit it out.

I wrote in Sanders. But i was never, ever under any circumstances going to vote for Trump or Clinton anyway. I was glad to have the info from the hack, but it wasn't surprising to me. It just confirmed what i basically suspected anyway. No effect on my vote whatsoever.
