Based on the vanity thread this morning, I’d offer a guesstimate that Cruz lost 20% of his FR supporters with his botched words yesterday.
As his buddy Rubio says, "Words have consequences."
Cruz said the words... Enjoy the consequences.
I read where Cruz lost around 30% of his Twitter followers overnight, so you're probably not far off the mark.

I’ve been a Cruz supporter since Day One. However, as the campaign season progressed, he began to disappoint. That’s not unusual, because no one is a perfect candidate, and blemishes are to be expected. I still supported him, but with a bit less fervor. That transitioned into a slight sense of discomfort, and as my discomfort with Cruz rose, so did my interest in Trump. Cruz’s actions over the last two weeks have convinced me that Cruz is not the guy we need at this point in our nation’s history. I think he would probably make a very good justice of the Supreme Court. But he will no longer have my support for the nomination. I will be pulling the lever for Trump on Tuesday in my state’s primary.
These “protesters” and agitators are not after Trump for being Trump, they are after Trump for being the opposing party’s frontrunner. The ironic thing is, if Cruz were the frontrunner, all this sh!t would have happened at HIS rallies. Doesn’t Cruz see that?
It is sad, really, because for a while there Cruz looked like the real deal.
