So after watching this video, I take it when he had his old show called Scarborough Country, (where during the intro it showed him as this Pro Reagan conservative) that it was a phony ruse into thinking he was conservative. Watching him here you’d have no doubt he and Rachael Maddow or Olbermann were best of friends.
I’d go so far as to say he is the Jim Jeffords or Arlen Spector of talk show television. To me you don’t switch from a conservative to a liberal, as that would mean you were never a conservative to begin with. Also who is that stupid to do so? Clearly it is not money as he is still with that sinking ship of a network PMSNBC
