They feel like Trump isn't really a republican, and that he's an opportunist who hijacked their party.
And to some extent they're right, but I do believe that Trump is genuinely republican now, despite being a centrist for most of his life (even leaning slightly to the left at times). Look at his son, Donald Jr, a staunch conservative and republican. That would not be the case if Trump didn't have a lot of conservative beliefs and values.
He is definitely anti-establishment, however, and that's why a lot of hardcore GOP'ers are not on board. On the other hand, it's also a source of his wide appeal and popularity with other segments of the population.
