Cruz was shaking hands--his attention is focused on the people he is about to shake hands with. I don't think he was aware of Carly's fall. Carly was probably not paying attention to where the platform ended.

Some years back the Republican nominee fell off the platform when a railing gave way--was it Dole or McCain? One of the geezer nominees.

As a Trump supporter, I do not think that Cruz say iCarly fall. Heidi Cruz saw her on the ground and bent down for a second then stood up and continued waving. I hope iCarly is fine, but darn it...it is funny...there one moment and gone the next...

“Some years back the Republican nominee fell off the platform when a railing gave way—was it Dole or McCain”

It was Bob Dole in 1996 running against Clinton. Bob Dole is partially disabled as a result of war injuries.

Someone sabotaged the railing and removed the screws. When Dole grabbed the railing it gave way and Dole fell off the stage.

None of the reporters or photographers standing next to Dole tried to help him. The photographers kept taking pictures.

He was looking right at her after she fell. Then turned and continued shaking hands.
