ABC News *really* wants you to see a photo of Hillary Clinton and her kiddie Halloween doppelganger.
The Clinton campaign tweeted a photo October 31 of the candidate posing with a little girl who was holding a “Senator’s Briefcase” while wearing a coat with flag pin and American flag-style sneakers.
Happy Halloween! 🎃 pic.twitter.com/kjfUE0YO8U

ABC News posted a nearly identical photo four times with varying headlines. Note the date and time stamps:

The site Chicks on the Right notes Clinton is having trouble garnering support from young female voters — including mothers.
It points to a Hill article, which reads in part:
An NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll released on Friday showed Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont who is running as a Democrat, received 48 percent of support from young voters between the ages of 18-29, compared to Clinton’s 33 percent.
While the poll did not break down millennial support by gender, efforts by Clinton’s campaign to reach out to young women suggests it is a demographic the former secretary of State’s team is seeking to strengthen.
What better way for Hillary’s friends in the mainstream to promote her softer side than to post the same picture over and over?
