O'Reilly was not a conservative. He always leaned a little right but was a centrist. He'd criticize Bush or Obama. I suspect it was the secret of his lengthy career, always ride the fence so you're relevant no matter who's in charge. He just isn't bent to the left like nearly every other talking head so the liberals are gloating like they just took down Trump himself. O'Reilly was an A-Hole at times but a centrist and a realist.
