The DNC stole the election from her in 2008. She literally won majorities in most of the States when you look at the delegates. Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. Hillary won Florida, Iowa, Michigan, California, New York, Mass, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc.
Howard Dean just ordered the delegates who pledged for Hillary to change to Obama, to include intimidation, threats, and murder of 2 super delegates who refused to change. One walked into the delegate's office in Arkansas and gunned him down. The other died of a "brain aneurysm" days before the convention.
This is why Hillary built her current DNC apparatus in her own image, to prevent 2008 from happening, not that it matters anymore.

@Caeruleo Regarding rifle qual scores. Nothing you do that's recorded in basic training is exceptional or worthy of mention. You are nowhere near the top shooters with any of your scores, not even close.
Receiving basic rifle marksmanship training does not make you a sniper, an advanced rifleman, or anything resembling such.
Oswald's basic training and later unit qual scores showed him trending downwards, which meant he wasn't utilizing any training opportunities to gain and improve proficiency.
I have been shooting moving targets on military and professional range complexes since 1994, and even within 88yds, hitting a head-sized target is extremely difficult to do. Carlos Hathcock (one of the fathers of the USMC Sniper Community) tried to duplicate the shots in the USMC Scout Sniper Instructor Course at Quantico, set up a range with the Dealey Plaza scenario and he and other USMC Sniper Instructors couldn't even do it. He said so in his own words. They acquired a 6.5 Carcano rifle with 4x scope, zeroed it properly, and still couldn't pull it off.
Now you're left having to explain how a Radar technician defector exceeded the rifle marksmanship capabilities of the best snipers in the US.
There is obvious evidence that multiple shots were fired from the rear, maybe even 1-2 from the TSBD, but when you look at the angles of POI and exit on JFK's back through neck, then align them with the bullet hole in the windshield, you get a shooter position from the Dal-Tex building, not the TSBD.
A lot of people say to ignore Dealey Plaza because it's too confusing, too much tampering, etc. but I'm of the opinion there is critical evidence there that invalidates the WC findings and does so demonstrably.

@Caeruleo Re-watch Connally's hospital bed and 1964 statements. You missed a lot of key points he made. JFK was hit first, Connally began looking for where the shooting was coming from, then Connally was hit. Zapruder aligns with this perfectly. He specifically said he felt the impact to his back after he began looking for where the rifle fire came from. He also specifically said in 1964, "I know there's some disagreement among the experts about how many shots were fired and whether the first shot hit us both, but I know it didn't and I'll never believe that."
Dr. McClelland said the cavity in the occipital region was a 5" diameter. (I have extensive training in combat trauma management, starting with anatomy & physiology from the Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center, including real-world GSW treatment on myself and others, with access to Bible-sized military studies of high power rifle terminal ballistics including to the cranium.) He literally watched what was left of the cerebellum fall out onto the table. If you don't have a medical background, you won't have any relevant understanding of the structures, their locations, or how the wounds presented to the Parkland ER docs.
McClelland approached JFK from above, immediately seeing the back of his skull, while the others were down around his thorax and lower extremities as they managed his airway.
McClelland immediately noticed a very large exit wound and most of the right hemisphere gone, with pieces still falling from it onto the table.
I don't know how many entrance and exit wounds you have seen, but I'll tell you that entrance wounds are rarely much larger than the diameter of the projectile. Exit wounds can vary from projectile diameter to several inches.
The skull is a bit different since the cranium encapsulates the brain in varying thicknesses of bone, so when a high velocity projectile impacts it, you expect to see significant damage to the bullet meplat, ogive, and shank even if the bullet holds together.
With a high velocity rifle that has higher than 2600fps mv, you will see rapid expansion and failure of the bullet after it penetrates the initial layer of the epidermis, connective tissues, and bone. This results in exposure of the lead core while still going over twice the speed of sound, sending a lead shower of smaller fragments through the brain, which continue at extreme speed, causing the structural integrity of the skull to fail. The exit wounds from higher velocity rifles are catastrophic and avulsive.
Even if you assume a rear wound of a few inches, we're not talking about an entrance. It's not reality or physically possible to generate anything more than a roughly 6.5mm+ entrance, especially with a 162gr Round Nosed FMJ. The Parkland ER Doctors were unanimous in saying the occipital region had a huge exit wound. McClelland who had direct observation of it from above the head said 5", while others said 7cm (2.75").
Even more disturbing is the fact that the autopsy drawings provided many years later show a perfect entrance wound in the rear, and no cavity at all.
This directly conflicts with the Parkland doctors' observations, makes it impossible for McClelland to have witnessed anything he saw.
Then I point back to Zapruder with the projectile momentum transferred into the skull, sending it back and to the left. I challenge you to reproduce that knowing fully well you cannot and will not, unless you shoot from the front right aspect of the President's head.

@Caeruleo I'm a very comprehensive speed reader, formally trained in speed-reading an various memory training disciplines. I've read all of your empassioned responses quite thoroughly.
The fresh bullet impact on the curb on Elm Street and on the overpass support are the proposed paths between James Tague and the rifle(s), not the final head shot.
If you had ever spent considerable time with firearms watching ricochets and bullet spall, there isn't enough energy in fragments that far after having perforated a skull. I observe bullet spall every time I run a rifle or pistol course, since we shoot steel targets. I've been hit many times over the years with bullet fragments, none of which have penetrated my skin. Usually it's splash-back from higher power pistols in poorly-designed shoot houses. If you were adjacent to a hard structure, like a reinforced concrete pillar under an overpass, and a rifle projectile hit near you, you could very well suffer a superficial or eye injury from the jacket and core fragmenting.
You need to be close to the impact site to have superficial penetration from jacket or core off-axis from the POI though. I've been immersed in this field of study with hands-on experience both at the range and in a lab setting spanning over 40 years now. The idea that a fragment continued at high enough velocity to cause the injury to James Tague's cheek after perforating JFK's skull does not pass the sniff test, given the forensic realities of the curb strike.
You have to make 3 bullets do the work of 4 minimum.
Dr. McClelland's statements are clearly viewable right here on YouTube, which is the source material I'm referring, not something someone else has claimed.
As to JFK's head reaction to bullet momentum, I've personally conducted and analyzed hundreds of terminal ballistic tests on tissue and calibrated ballistic gel media, to include high-speed photography analyses.
Never once have I or any other technicians witnessed the majority of projectile momentum resonating backwards through the media or animal. The opposite is true: momentum transfers through the media generally in the direction of the bullet flight path, with departures in bullet path sometimes caused by yawning, fragmentation, and/or expansion.
Heads on a fulcrum (cervical spine) blow violently in the direction of bullet flight path. The civilian sector is lacking much data with high velocity rifle performance on heads, but it has been well-documented in the military for many decades. The Zapruder film is absolutely consistent with a frontal/right quadrant high velocity rifle projectile traveling no less than 2600fps mv, but more likely 2700-3400fps.
I'm not asking you for your opinion or anyone else's on this, but declaring the ballistic realities as I see them. You can't make that head behavior and terminal performance happen from the rear. It's not reality. You must force yourself to accept this, because you can't physically duplicate it.

@bryanekers3472 And just to give a little more perspective on this: I’ve been shooting since the 1970s, no big deal. Been shooting Long Range as my job (3 Scout Sniper/Recon Platoons in US Army), a competitor, or instructor since 1995. I’ve been conducting and publishing internal, external, and terminal ballistics studies on a 6.5mm cartridge that duplicates the 6.5x52 Carcano external ballistics since 2013, where I and 2 other professionals collaborated on the research and testing.
One of the co-authors is a retired USAF pilot/DoD advanced weapons test & evaluation officer/engineer who worked at one of the US National Labs.
The other is a PhD in biomedical engineering, with a long history in shooting as well.
We submitted out work to peer-review among stablished labs, big industry companies, and engineers who specialize in this field, to ensure we weren’t publishing anything erroneous.
Additionally, I have extensive training and hands-on experience with combat trauma management, anatomy and physiology, and live tissue training in a specific medical center for USSOCOM, which gave me access to the closed library at that institution, as well as the day-to-day terminal ballistics effects from high velocity projectiles in animal tissue.
I read the various professional reports associated with the JFK assassination from that context, including the doctor reports, LEO findings, rifle characteristics, and the Zapruder film.
I’m not a casual observer just looking at some evidence swaying me one way or another, and I am able to sift through a lot of misdirection or falsehoods and mistakes I commonly see made by both apologists for the WC, as well as those who challenge its findings.
My bottom line motive is the truth. One of the first red flags I remember reading in the WC summary was the FBI Marksmanship Unit unable to zero the rifle without shims in the scope mount. That did not generate much confidence at all. Then there was the claim with the single bullet theory. The more I read, the more it felt like a construct by a group of people who were told to make it fit, rather than let the material facts develop the true narrative.

@bryanekers3472 It's just a coincidence that it matches the description of the rifle the 4 police officers originally gave for the rifle they found in the TSBD, a 7.65 Mauser.
Boone, Captain Fritz, Weitzman, and Roger Craig were all present when they found the 7.65 Mauser.
News reported that a Mauser rifle was found in the TSBD, then the rifle at Dallas PD was shown to be a 6.5 Carcano.
The 4 officers were told they made a mistake and to change their reports. All but 1, Roger Craig, changed their testimony. Roger Craig refused, was fired, and then suffered through numerous attacks, a car bomb, and then committed suicide before he could testify before the HSCA.
