Senate Majority Leader depends on winning Senate seats, not president. If Hillary had gotten a few thousand more votes in PA, MI, WI which Senate Seats would have gone Democrat to give them a majority?

Is this supposed to be a trick question? PA dem won reelection, WI Rep also won reelection and by a larger margin than Trump, MI had no Senate election.
Two senators lost reelection, Kelly Ayotte of NH in a close hard fought election in a toss up state and Mark Kirk in more liberal Illinois.
Unless Hilary Clinton had brought out a Johnston style landslide over Goldwater, most of the other Senate seats were pretty safe on either side.
