Pawlenty governed a state. He can help Trump in Congress. He could add MN, WI, IA, OH to Trump.
Pawlenty is is a low engery, boring, nonpitbull, completely useless waste of space who wouldn't bring in the states you listed, at all.
Pawlenty couldn’t carry a bag of groceries, let alone Minnesota in a Presidential race. He’s laughably weak and has been nowhere to be seen on the political radar in 6 years. He would’ve been a one-term wonder in 2006 had his opponent’s running mate not made a verbal gaffe going into the elections.
