Hillary Clinton will stoop to any level and use any child to blunt a potential loss in the New Hampshire primary.
Her campaign released a new ad Tuesday morning using several children to scold apparently lazy Democratic voters.
Go vote, New Hampshire!They’re counting on you, New Hampshire. Go vote!

“I can’t vote yet,” several of the children say.
“Let’s make Hillary president,” one little girl says.
“HRC 2016!” a little boy chants.
It ends with a boy demanding, “Hey you! Get off the couch and go vote!”
It’s not the first time Hillary has deployed kids to make her case.
In December, the Clinton campaign used some of the same children to create an ad saying 44 boy presidents is “too many.”
Set to riveting, inspirational music, the young girls read excepts from letters emphasizing that it’s time to have a woman president.
“It will be hard being a grandma and president. I know you can do it,” said another.
One girl’s letter read, “I hope you will fight for world peace and get guns off the streets.” The campaign only highlighted the world peace bit.
The ad was featured on MSNBC and the criticism was relentless.
“It’s really, like, too terrible to describe in the English language,” former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said as host Joe Scarborough laughed hysterically.
“You don’t like little kids?” he asked sarcastically.
“I love little kids. I hate little kids being used by cynical politicians,” Schmidt responded.
Even liberal co-host Mika Brzezinski slammed the ad, calling it “90s-style.”
“What I would have done is put women, working women, hardworking women from every level of society talking about wanting to be paid equally to men. That would be an ad that has to do with this generation of women,” she said.
“This is why Donald Trump is winning. Because people are sick of this crap,” Willie Geist said.
“Okay, I think we all don’t like the ad,” Brzezinski concluded.
