Lindsey Graham went to a bar and played 'date, marry, or disappear forever'
Turns out Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is pretty fun after a few drinks. Hanging out in Boulder's Walnut Brewery, where CNN hosted a pre-debate party, the GOP presidential hopeful poured shots of Jameson, toasted Medicare and Social Security, and cracked jokes about his lousy poll numbers, The Huffington Post reports.
"I think Bernie can hold his liquor," Graham teased his audience when asked what Democrat he'd want to hang out with. Graham added that there's "a side of Hillary Clinton that's a lot of fun," but said he couldn't reveal it on national television.
At some point, the antics turned to a game of "date, marry, or disappear forever" (perhaps better known by it's not-so-polite name, "f--k, marry, kill") and Graham was served up Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Carly Fiorina. Graham protested, but eventually caved to say he would date Palin and marry Fiorina "'cause she's rich."

CNN host Dana Bash asked if that meant he'd "disappear" Clinton.
"No. Is she rich? 'Cause she said she was flat-broke," Graham joked.
