A Trump loss in the general arguably does the same thing. That group of supporters get their shot, there's no particular ill-will from them towards the GOPe, and they're potentially on board for the right compromise candidate next cycle (examples like Jon notwithstanding).
What splits the GOP is an actual split, like Trump running independent after losing at the convention (or even just sniping at the GOP nominee through the general election), or Trump being the nominee and the Establishment sniping at him or even splitting into the third party we're starting to hear about.
