meh, if you've really listened to his podcast for many years then you should know of his politics.  It seems rather odd that you would be surprised and so dismayed over this.  

To be clear, I don’t regret defending Joe when I defended him, he deserved to be heard and understood back then. And also to be clear, I am not surprised he endorsed Trump, I saw it coming. 

Joe has been around for a long while so I probably should’ve been clearer about which era I was referring to.

There was a time when he endorsed Bernie, had people like Kyle Kalinsky and Krystal regularly, and asked his audience to watch their shows repeatedly even when they weren’t guests: that Joe wasn’t a partisan hack, but he’s has  long gone so I am not surprised he endorsed Trump. 

@The pi guy: Joe is a lot smarter than the people you listed, and he also built his audience without having to engage in dishonest rhetoric and discussions etc. There was no need for him to take the path he took, unlike the rest who would see their fanbase significantly diminish if they go far off from what their audience is used to.
