That's a bit like what the players were telling us and each other during the lockout. "We're the game, not the owners". Except what the fans care about is the team and the logo - and that's the owners. In this case, hard Republicans care about Trump because he represents their team. But if the party (Brietbart, Fox News, et al) turn on Trump, most of that loyalty will move to Trump's replacement. It won't stick around with him.
