Epistemic Closure

++You might recall the term used by Andrew Sullivan to refer to the hermetically sealed world of the American conservatives. This condition is re-enforced by the Fox Media and conservative entertainment circuit. Today, Ed Kilgore revisits this phenomenon in the Washington Monthly about how the GOP is trapped in this situation and the difficulties of breaking out of it. 

++By the way, I think the Donald is the type of wrecking ball that will force cracks in this situation. At some point,conservatives will have to address what he raises and not believe he is a conspiracy to elect Hillary, which is the dominent view of his detractors.
