He wound up striking out.
The Texas senator swung for the fences when he name-dropped Northeast Ohio's native son LeBron James, comparing the four-time MVP's efforts to lead the Cavs back from 3-1 deficit to down the Warriors in the NBA Finals to his party's efforts to regain the White House. He was later booed off the stage at Quicken Loans Arena.
