After very little research and some observation, I've come up with the following definitions for GOP base vs. GOP establishment. Trump's base, for example, is the folks who attend his rallies, commit anti-semitic, racist mayhem, and vote for him. The GOP establishment is the power-mad party that keeps him in office, because they think he will further their interests, such as lower taxes for corporations and the wealthy, repealing Obamacare, etc.
Check out Peter Stevenson's article in the Washington Post for a more reasoned look at "Who exactly is in the ‘GOP establishment?’ (April,2016)".
Then there's the Russian influence.
