After Trump Camp Plugs 'Special Guest,' Palin a NO-SHOW in Iowa [View all]

http://cdn.thedailybeast.com/content/dailybeast/articles/2016/01/19/sarah-palin-backs-donald-trump-murders-irony/jcr:content/image.crop.800.500.jpg/48442195.cached.jpg

A day after endorsing Donald Trump, Sarah Palin failed to appear as expected at a campaign rally for the GOP frontrunner Wednesday morning.

Trump supporters in Norwalk, Iowa, had been advised on Tuesday that Trump would appear "with a very special guest" in the wake of the high-profile endorsement by the former Alaska governor.

But in Norwalk, Trump gave a relatively standard stump speech -- heavy on criticism of GOP rival Ted Cruz -- without being joined by the onetime vice-presidential candidate at all.

The Trump campaign has not yet responded to a request for comment from NBC News.
