Because the Rep-Est is not capable of governing as conservatives. They're spneless and mostly just a party of JFK Democrats.

I think it's because Trump himself can't seem to take a position and stick to it.   Every time he extends some sort of offer, or agrees to anything, someone on his staff pulls him back.  

Democrat: "Let's have a clean DACA bill."
Trump: "That's a good idea."
Some other Republican: "Oh, no Mr. President, we can't do that." 
Trump: "We're not doing that." 

That actually happened in the meeting when he allowed the press in and they recorded it.  

Several times, he's agreed to stuff, and then changed his mind.  At this point, he needs to tell people what exactly he will agree to, and stick to it.  But right now, no one is sure what he's in favor of.
