Cruz supporters are leaving him to support Trump every day, I swear the only place in the real world or the internet where I encounter any number of hard core Cruz people is right here. That’s it.

anecdotal fallacy: You used a personal experience or an isolated example instead of a sound argument or compelling evidence.

Check how many millions of primary voters voted for Cruz. It’s 5.5 Million. That’s PRIMARY voters. Not general election. Of the 20+ Million Republican primary voters, Trump has received the support of 7.5 Million. Awesome. But it is wrong to ASSUME that Cruz has no support. He has a lot.

Cruz has been the BIGGEST obstacle to Trump getting the nomination. And this makes Trump devotees VERY ANGRY. But the reality is that conservatives are just looking for someone to represent our interests. Trump has won the support of many conservatives who focus on the conservative stances he has, and ignore the nonconservative ones.

But it is foolish to deny the fact that Cruz has a huge following. Same as denying the reality that Bernie and Hillary also have huge followings. You don’t win elections by denying reality.
