But really? Who can Trump pick TO help him electorally? And what states have enough Electoral votes for it to matter?

WI?
MI?
OH?

NM is too small. FL? Nah....

I’m not sure any one person helps him much.

Looking for help with a particular state is usually futile. Satisfying the base while demonstrating good governing sense goes a long way—and Sessions does that.

(He is also conservative and loyal enough to discourage the other side from off ing Trump in a coup.

I understand that Ohio Senator Rob Portman is good on trade issues.
Been reading a few posts about former PA Senator Rick Santorum who appeared on Fox and FBN this week speaking highly of Trump, although I am aware he lost his reelection.
Thought for a while that Iowa’s Senator Joni Ernst might help but she hasn’t had much good to say regarding Trump.
From the states you list, only Portman could make a difference, Would be interesting if Killary taps Sherrod Brown.
BTW, I wish Rubio was not so terrible on immigration/Gang of 8. He has the youthful charisma that might bring in swing voters. Meanwhile, I hope Governor Rick Scott does everything he can to deliver Florida, although he has declined the Veep slot.
