Howard is all over the map. Loved Reagan back in the eighties, went with Clinton in the nineties, supported GWB after 911 and then went against him over Iraq. Went with Oabama and Hillary over abortion. Now he’s with Trump on the 2nd Amendment.

Howard Stern is simple to figure out.

Whatever current most strongest personal drive is controlling him, that is what shapes how he makes decisions.

Obviously that hour his drive for self-preservation was dominant.

And in that, he's very much like the swing voters who decide presidential elections. There are many voters who are not committed to one philosophy or another, and will decide each presidential election based on the issues that are most important to them at the time. Democrats spent the last 8 years crowing about how they'd built a permanent majority by thinking otherwise - Republicans would be fools to make the same mistake.
