Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a new ad Wednesday, part of a previous $2 million buy in Iowa and New Hampshire.

In the latest ad, titled “Reshuffle the Deck and Rebuild the Middle Class,” the Democratic frontrunner plays up her “middle-class” background and family.

The spot, which is still unlisted on the candidate’s YouTube channel, was uploaded on Tuesday and released at 6 a.m. Wednesday.

“When you see that you’ve got CEOs making 300 times what the average worker’s making, you know, the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top. I want it to be back where it was when I came of age, where my mom, who never got to go to college, could see her daughter go to law school,” she says in the ad, as images of a younger Clinton with her parents and graduating from school flash across the screen.

3. What does his penis have to do with anything?

Your reply makes no sense.

4. Troll

2. when she aims at America's middle class, it ducks and covers

here's her message to India's middle class - more jobs from us, to them

and waaaaay more believable

5. Bill & Hillary averaged $18 million dollars in annual income during past 8 years

She worries about her grandchild's' future like other everyday folks. Will Bill & Hillary ever have enough money?

6. I heard that just yesterday

It came directly from the mouth of a friend's aunt.

She just happens to be a Tea Bagger from the great state of Arizona who made that almost word for word claim in the same conversation about how Sheriff Joe is fixing immigration and how we have to cut poor people from welfare. She also complained that Obama plays golf.

At least she openly admits that she gets her talking points from Fox News.

11. No! Obama plays golf!?!?!?! That's a white mans game!

8. No - she'll always want more.

7. Sooooo, any actual plan to do this, or is this ad just fluff?

[840high]

9. Maybe we'll find out at debates.

[Fearless]

10. How about just giving back the $2 million dollars?

I'm not interested in candidates that need to spend money to look like they understand my existence.

12. I think that's unfair to Hillary.

It's not like she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She's worked to be where she's at and yes the Clinton's make money, but they also give it back. If more wealthy people acted like the Clinton's, the world would be a better place.

There will always be TV ads in American politics

13. They do not know what it's like to live in the middle class today

They grew up during the biggest boom in US history. They had it much easier. Her economic policies show that she is out of touch.

[ellisonz]

14. I'm sure Hillary reads the newspapers.

If you want to point to a specific policy, that would be a better foundation for discussion. We won't have a reasonable debate on policy though if the attack is simply personal. I also don't think that's Senator Sander's message and it's not helpful to Sanders or the party.

Just my two cents, I'm a millenial.

15. TPP, Glass-Steagall, single-payer healthcare for starters.

TPP is a horrible idea, that she supports. She has said she will not insist on the re-installation of the Glass-Steagall Act. And she has not supported the effort to bring about single-payer healthcare. Also her support of GMO's and refusal to reject super PAC money, particularly from "blind" donors and Wall St. firms. Her war hawkishness and support of drone strikes in foreign nations. She has also been completely silent on warrantless wiretapping and the illegal government collection of metadata from American citizens at home and abroad.

16. That's fair!
