Hillary Clinton gained some clarity Tuesday night, but it came with a cost.

Clinton now knows her Republican opponent would be Donald Trump, who became his party‘s presumptive nominee with a win in Indiana. For weeks now, Clinton’s advisers have viewed voter anxiety about a Trump presidency as one of the best ways to bring Bernie Sanders‘ supporters to her side, and his grip on the nomination makes those fears all the more potent, they believe.

But there are two problems with that theory: she‘s still having to compete against Sanders, and Trump, liberated from a primary fight, can now train all his fire on her.
