maybe... part of me thinks it's all an act... he's going to draw an audience with anger and then start to moderate his views to draw in more
I think I see where you're coming from:
You think he's basically "trolling" for attention, as in more people will watch the show to see him get his ass kicked. Then with the new viewers, he will do an about face on his stances.
I think it's possible, but unlikely. I don't know that the network would like, much less take this gamble. Unless they're the ones telling him to use this strategy, I think all they see is a ratings plunge, and that doesn't bode well for the host.
