Funny ’cause it’s oh-so-true.
Speaking at the Values Voter Summit this morning, it only took Sen. Ted Cruz “three words” (by the VP’s count) to draw chuckles from the crowd: Joe Biden.
Sen. Ted Cruz welcomed w standing applause, when mentioning VP Biden, laughter. "don't even need a punchline for him!"

And then there were the hecklers:
.@SenTedCruz has been heckled three times by OFA operatives at FRC summit
— Matthew Boyle (@mboyle1) October 11, 2013
Correction: make that FIVE times OFA operatives have heckled @SenTedCruz at FRC summit
— Matthew Boyle (@mboyle1) October 11, 2013
Make that SIX TIMES
— Matthew Boyle (@mboyle1) October 11, 2013
But they were no match for Cruz. Bless. Their. Hearts.
This is how it’s done:
CRUZ jokes about hecklers: "Is anybody left at OFA headquarters. I'm glad his staff is here instead of doing mischief in the country!"

CRUZ again handles hecklers: "We've heard more questions from them than President Obama has taken in the last year!"
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) October 11, 2013
CRUZ: "Get a hundred most rabid of his supporters in a room. I'll answer their questions as long as he likes."
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) October 11, 2013
CRUZ: "In exchange, all I ask is that you take not a hundred, but you take 10 questions from the men and women in this room."
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) October 11, 2013
CRUZ to hecklers: "How scared is the President? What a statement of fear. They don't want the truth to be heard."
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) October 11, 2013
Cruz to hecklers: "Thank you for your passion."

Seriously, would ANYONE be handling hecklers as well as Cruz is right now?
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) October 11, 2013
An Obamacare-level flop for the hecklers and a win for Cruz.
I love how @SenTedCruz is handling these hecklers. Can't stop laughing. #VVS13

OK, people. You may not like Cruz. But I wish all our candidates handled hecklers/awkward moments with the Left so easily/with humor. #VVS13

Watch @SenTedCruz continue to get yelled at by hecklers at #VVS13 and then try to tell me he's irrelevant and doesn't pose a credible threat
— Bethany Bowra (@BethanyBowra) October 11, 2013
Go @SenTedCruz !!! Keeping OFA operatives down, opening up debate, gaining momentum right now. #MakeDCListen
