There are different ways to contain a political insurgency. The Democratic Party managed to contain the insurgency of which Bernie Sanders was the figurehead through behind-the-scenes maneuvers with the Sanders campaign, the true nature of which will probably never be made public.
The Republican Party will contain the Trump insurgency by allowing Trump to be Trump and thereby alienate so many of the Party faithful that his campaign will crash and burn long before November. Everyone will breath a sigh of relief and then the establishment will pick up where they left off before they were so rudely interrupted.
