So we saw Trump [fly his plane](http://www.npr.org/2016/07/20/486782643/watch-trumps-plane-interrupts-ted-cruz-rally-crowd-boos) and [enter the convention hall](http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/headlines/20160720-angry-texans-storm-out-after-trump-interrupts-ted-cruz-convention-speech.ece)during Cruz’s speech. Trump’s a master sensationalist and an attention whore bar none. I can’t imagine him remaining silent during the DNC — what will he do to try to steal the spotlight or grab headlines? ---
