"All hat and no cattle" is, I think gone beyond even his base now. The conservatives never were a "real" political co-alition, they were at best, what they try to accuse the liberals of a "hate" group. They "hated" progressive ideas, they "hated" public schools, they "hated" social security, they "hated" medicare, and they "hated" any type of program that was green vs. absolute growth. Why you ask? It was contrary to the way they grew up. Now the pseudo-republicans-conservatives are starting to see the wolves in their right-wing/false-religious sheep's clothing for what it was a means to an end.
The only reason the BASE of the GOP wanted a repeal of inheritance taxes, was because they were the only ones effected by the law. Most pseudo-republicans did not even realize that the "death tax" did not kick in until after an enormous sum. The run of the mill repugs don't get a boost from an elimination of an inheritance tax; just like they don't get a benefit from the "massive" tax cuts the GOP pushed through to satisfy their "base". To be able to get a benefit from the tax cut the GOP got for the "base" you would need to make over $1 million dollars to reap any real benefit. Most of these pseudo-repugs don't make anywhere near that much in a lifetime, much less a year. But they support it!!!
