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

But they were no match for Cruz. Bless. Their. Hearts.
This is how it’s done:

Cruz to hecklers: "Thank you for your passion."

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

Go @SenTedCruz !!! Keeping OFA operatives down, opening up debate, gaining momentum right now. #MakeDCListen
