One method of stopping a political mass movement is to substitute it for another one. In the 2016 US presidential campaign there is a clear mass movement led by Donald Trump. Conservative Republicans saw Trump as a threat to Republican conservatism. A large group of conservative politicians believed they could stop the Trump mass movement by creating the so-called "Never Trump" movement. In this case, the substitution strategy failed.

On the Democratic side, Senator Bernie Sanders has created his own mass movement. He and his supporters have challenged the "establishment style" campaign of Hillary Clinton. She has been unable to create a counter movement to challenge Sanders. Although Hillary Clinton is the odds on nominee for the Democratic Party, the fact that Sanders remains in the race is an indication that spirited support for Clinton is not present. She must rely on the "political machine" of her party to insure a non-combative Democratic Convention in Philadelphia.
