—RE: Lincoln was never a Senator.
I think the point was -—
No, the point was that we shouldn’t elect Senators [e.g., the current POTUS], which would not have stopped Lincoln from being elected.
There is madness afoot, here. John McCain and Mitt Romney are NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, conservatives. They are, at best, big government corporatists. There's another word for that: Fascists. Rejection of Romney and McCain means embracing the conservatism that the fascist wing of the Republocrat Party abhors.
Writing off Senators is dumb.
...don’t debate on the Democrat/Media Complex’s terms, set your own damn terms and force them to their knees.

Yes!
When was a senator a great pres?
They would make atrocious Presidents and WILL NOT receive my vote.
RE: Lincoln was never a US Senator.
Well, if he was a mere one congressman ( 2 years in Washington ) instead of a Senator, wouldn’t that be almost the same reason?
Being a senator fries the brain. Way too long on politics and too short on execution. Completely different career track.
Mitt Romney.
George W. Bush.
Jeb Bush.
Jimmy Carter.
Bill Clinton.
Chris Christie.
