So Teddy Roosevelt was elected, and he was a total heroic hardass (continued American Imperialism), really similar to Trump in his distain for the establishment. After he finished his 1st term, he said he wouldn't run again and so his best friend, Taft, got the nomination and became president.
Anyway, Roosevelt got really mad at Taft for not following his legacy enough, so Roosevelt fired up his base to vote for him again, and he ran on a new Party because the GOP gave Taft the nomination again. So Republicans split their votes and one of the most Progressive/destructive presidents won the presidency, Wilson (Democrat), and he started a lot of the problems we have today, like the Federal Reserve.
So the point is, Trump is like TR, he's not going too back down, even if you take away the nomination from him, you're not only going to anger a lot of supporters, but then establishment Republicans will use this as a chance to run a moderate candidate, since the far Right Trump base is fighting amongst ourselves, we'll lose electoral power. Any time you split your votes, you lose. And that's what is most likely going to happen if you try and primary Trump, because he's not going to simply walk away.
