Kasich.
He's not a Democrat, but he would win those states.

Beto may, but shouldn't, run for President.
Not that it matters these days, but he doesn't have any executive experience, and I'm not convinced he could win the Midwestern vote. And his legislative experience and accomplishments are, let's be honest, a bit thin.
His message appeals to those who want a change, who believe in inclusivity, and who believe that the government can--or maybe should---do things to help make your life better. There is a large segment of the Midwest that doesn't want or believe in at least one of those things.
Now, could he be the Vice Presidential nominee? Sure...that would be a better position for him, in my view.
Ultimately, at this point in time, my dream team would be Kasich-Beto, but it will never, ever happen.
