Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday night played a game of “date, marry, or make disappear forever,” tasked with choosing between Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina, and Hillary Clinton.

During CNN’s Politics on Tap event, Dana Bash asked the Republican to make a decision, and he reluctantly categorized each politician.

He told Bash he would date Palin, adding, “We’ll go hunting on our first date.”

He settled on Fiorina for marriage “’cause she’s rich.”

“She could keep me in the life I’ve become accustomed to,” he joked.

Bash then asked him if he would then make Clinton disappear.

“No,” he said, pausing. “Is she rich?”

“I think so,” Bash replied.

“She said she was flat broke,” Graham then quipped.

Though he did not want to date or marry Clinton, Graham told CNN that Clinton would make a great drinking buddy. He recalled a Congressional delegation trip to Eastern Europe, during which Clinton and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) enjoyed some vodka.

“So I’m drinking water pretending its vodka. I had to go to the bathroom before they stopped drinking,” Graham said, according to CNN. “That was pretty impressive. She can hold her own.”

Graham also took a turn behind the bar, pouring shots and beers for the patrons, according to the Huffington Post.
