He probably did alienate some small portion of them, but here's the thing - I think most people still remember the example of the 1992 campaign, and Perot's part in getting Clinton elected by attracting voters that would otherwise have supported Bush. The "third party" answer is a loser, and is synonymous with "staying home" or voting for Clinton. So, unless and until Clinton's positions seem better than Trump's, I do not think he will lose many of his supporters.
