If Cruz thinks those two will help then he is no political genius.
I doubt either is really going to showcase Bush or Romney. Jeb and Mitt may be there in spirit but not in the flesh, or if they are there they'll be in the back row.
The media like to cough up familiar names because they generate buzz and hits. That doesn't actually mean that Cruz thinks Mitt or Jeb would help him or that he'd be willing to put them front and center.
How is he an outsider?
