It seems that the RNC organizers (and Newt at least) expected an endorsement from Cruz during his speech.

Here's what was on Newt's teleprompter (which he evidently ended up improvising on)

Bit blurry, but it pretty clearly says that "Senator Ted Cruz in particular made the key point that we need to elect the Trump-Pence Republican ticket".

There are two options. Either Ted Cruz handed Gingrich’s people (or the RNC) a copy of the speech, or Gingrich made the assumption that Ted Cruz would uphold his promise.

I guess either way, it sort of proves the whole ‘Lyin’ Ted’ meme that Trump was pushing.

To say that’s a disappointment is a vast understatement. I had really hoped that he’d rise to the occasion, but yet again, disappointment is the only thing that shows up.
