With as close as the election was (in a functional/outcome sense), yeah, I definitely think it could have tipped the election. As I recall, Nate Silver (or someone pretty smart like that) calculated/opined that the Comey announcement probably skewed the vote by a percent or more. I think a story like the Stormy Daniels plus payoff thing could have easily tipped things back a percent or so.
