Caption this photo of JEB! Bush










Anyway.............its the photo politico choose for this story



Jeb Bush’s super PAC Right to Rise used stock video images from England and Asia for its new video, which seeks to contrast the former Florida governor's optimism about America's future with Donald Trump's pessimism about its present.
The video, which opens with clips of the real estate mogul edited to look sinister, says that Trump is in a “very dark place.”
The video, called "Bright," then pivots to the sun rising in a field along with the text “choose a brighter path” as Bush says his message will be an optimistic one.
"If we get a few big things right, we can make lives better for millions of people in this nation where every life matters and everyone has the right to rise,” he says.
The only problem: The sun is rising over a field in Cornwall, England — a clip available for between $19 and $79 on





The video also shows a clip of the silhouette of a construction worker with text on the screen that says "America is great" — stock footage that was taken from “a multiple story building in Southeast Asia,” according to the website Pond5. The HD version of the clip costs $35.
And the kids heading off to school? You can download them from iStock with a subscription. According to iStock, the clip was shot by a firm called MonkeyBusiness, based out of the United Kingdom.

"Let me see, there's gotta be a bright spot. . . . There always is. . . . Hmm. . . My poll numbers are sinking quicker than the Titanic. . . . My backers are beyond grumbling and are now publicly scoffing and demanding answers. . . Everybody sees me as weak and ineffectual, . . . and I can't even pretend to believe myself any more. . . . So where's the bright spot? . . . It's gotta be around here somewhere."
