I think Cruz actually began to believe the hype of Levin and Back that he (Cruz) was the next Reagan. It is said that after Reagan addressed the '76 convention after Ford had won the nomination, many in the crowd wondered if they had nominated the wrong guy. Cruz wanted to, and seriously believed he could have the same effect.

That and Cruz wanted to make the Trump convention about himself while green lighting his supporters to vote Libertarian.
Had Trump not given Cruz a speaking slot he would have showed up anyway and given the same divisive speech at the TX delegate breakfast.
Cruz wants Hillary to win. No doubt in my mind.
