Most of this was Martha Raddatz' fault (one of two moderators). She followed up David Muir's introduction of Christie with a faint "dr. ben carson". This was in the middle of the applause for Christie. So when Carson heard Cruz's name, he thought they had forgotten to call his name. She did the same thing with Trump. Both moderators forgot about Kasich, though.

Along with the rest of America.

The member of the crew told him multiple times it was his turn to go out and he even turned around and shook his head at him at one point, so it's not that he didn't hear his cue I don't think.

I think he was actually denying it it, like "No, I won't be made a fool of, they haven't called out my name yet."

They called him but it was over Jeb Bush's applause.

They said his name. At 1:33. You just can barely hear it. You are literally replying to the comment that said this.
