My point is that the previous two US presidents had delivered signicant legislation in their first six months in power. Trump simply hasn't. Many Republicans are feeling frustrated by this. I'm not saying that Pence is getting quotes from decorators right now but compared to his predecessors, Trump has been found wanting.
There are other areas that Trump can take a stab at that might prove more successful like tax reform or infrastructure investment, two more of his promises. But he seems to be subsumed by ongoing staff changes, the Russian situation and repealing Obamacare at the expense of any significant legislative success.
