Not all of those were even really "supporters" of Trump.
You have a whole segment of folks who are going to vote red regardless of who is running, who've been doing so their entire lives and aren't about to change just because this Republican isn't what they want - at least he's not a Democrat. They literally check the straight Republican ticket box if there is one and move on, they don't know much about politics and vote GOP because they were raised to vote GOP.
I've met more than a few GOP voters who outright wish the GOP candidate was someone else because they can acknowledge Trump is an idiot, but are going to vote for Trump because he's the GOP nominee and for no other reason.
Yeah. Sad, innit.
