Sasse began his Senate career with a well received speech on the subject of how the Senate became such a weak institution. In the speech, he pledged to always stand in the way on any president of either party who abused the use of executive orders. Fast forward to Trump's misuse of funds to build the wall and Sasse abandoned his principles completely, thus earning Trump's endorsement for reelection.

Bigger picture, his mission to strengthen the Senate was a colossal flop, ending with his pathetic resignation.
