Sarah Palin got a rock star's welcom in Tulsa, Oklahma on Wednesday as she told a crowd of 10,000 that America is 'going to go to hell in a handbasket' and urged them in her trademark twang to vote on 'Soooper Tooooosday.'
Palin endorsed Trump in a stream-of-consciousness stemwinder Tuesday during a rally in Ames, Iowa.
The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee was a no-show Wednesday morning at a smaller campaign stop in Norwalk, Iowa, as rumors swirled that a one-day political romance might already have turned sour.
But she spoke for nearly 20 minutes in Tulsa at the Mabee Arena at Oral Roberts University, calling the Republican front-runner 'ballsy enough to get out there' and challenge politicians on both the left and the right.

RHYMING ROGUE: Sarah Palin rallied for Donald Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma, saying 'we're in it to win it,' 'stump for Trump' and the 'status quo' has 'got to go'
PARTNERSHIP: Trump unveiled Palin as his latest endorser on Tuesday and brought her to Tulsa to speak on his behalf for 20 minutes in front of 10,000 people
CROWD-PLEASER: The raucous Oklahoma crowd gave Palin and Trump rock stars' welcomes
Trump introduced her as 'a very special person, a wonderful person' and 'a really great friend.'
Palin reprised her Ames speech Wednesday, rhyming her way through a blistering critique of the Obama administration and a firm defense of Trump.
'You patriots!' she yelled. 'You who know enough is enough. Enough of the status quo. It's got to go.'
'We need to be in it to win it!' she said later.
'Are you ready to stump for Trump?' Palin asked at one point.
Thinking she had said 'stomp for Trump,' thousands of people in the arena started pounding their feet on the cement floors.
Calling Trump's campaign a 'great awakening,' Palin warned that 'our country is going to – we're going to go to hell in a handbasket!'
She blasted the president as a feckless leader whom Americans should replace with 'a commander-in-chief who will respect our troops ... who will let them do their job and go kick ISIS ass!
She also blasted Obama's Veterans Administration for the lax attention it has paid to wounded warriors and battle-fatigued veterans who return from war zones with PTSD and other ailments.
SEA OF HUMANITY: This photo, shot from a hotel across the street from the Mabee Center, shows a crowd lining up in sub-freezing weather to see Trump – hours before his arrival, when he was still in Iowa
THE MOOSE (MAMA) IS LOOSE – Palin wrote on Facebook Wednesday morning; 'Trading in the beautiful snow of Iowa for the red dirt of Oklahoma as planned, despite what the media is trying to spin up! Thank you Iowa - get out and caucus on February 1st!'
'MEXICAN': One protester disrupted Trump's rally with a message that Hispanics 'come in peace'
She used her son Track Palin as Exhibit A.
'My son, a combat vet, having served in a striker brigade, fighting for you all, America, in the war zone,' she said – 'but my son like so many others, they come back a bit different, they come back hardened, they come back wondering ... whether they are respected anymore. It starts at the top!'
Criticizing the White House for its foreign policy – especially with respect to Iran – she said Obama is 'a weak-kneed capitulator-in-chief who doesn't know how to negotiate, and he has decided that from now on America is going to lead from behind.'
'What the enemy was doing was sending a message to the rest of the world ... they will capture, and America will kowtow, and America will apologize, and in the deal we will bend over and then say thank you.'
'Like I said yesterday in Iowa,' she wound up, 'No more pussyfootin' around!'
Trump, sharing a large arena stage with an opening act for the first time,' delivered a variation on his standard stump speech including riffs on illegal immigration, trade, military power and jobs.
He was interrupted four times by protesters, including one man wearing a bandana over his face and hoisting a clenched fist above his head, and another sporting a t-shirt with the handwritten message: 'We come in peace.'
The man also wore a yellow star of David – of the type Jews were required to wear in Nazi Germany – with the word 'Mexican' emblazoned on it.
Trump has earned enmity from liberals for his proposal to stem the flow of Mexican illegal immigrants with a new wall on America's southern border.
'I like him. I hope they do a couple more today,' Trump quipped after the first man became a minor nuisance, noting that news cameras had panned to show the size of his audience.
'BALLSY': Palin called Trump 'ballsy enough to get out there' and challenge politicians on both the left and the right
NOT FEELING THE BERN: Trump said of Bernie Sanders that 'he's a wacko. He's a whack job – but he's beating Hillary Clinton!'
CHILL? DRILL! – An audience member brought a tongue-in-cheek sign for Palin, who is fond of telling people who want her to 'chill' that America should instead 'drill, baby, drill'
He denounced Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, over the FBI's investigation into the private email server she operated while she was secretary of state, and the alleged sweetheart deals she made with foreign nations in exchange for contributions to her family foundation.
'I don't know if Hillary is going to make it,' Trump said. 'She might not make it with the voters. She might not make it legally!'
Trump noted that Clinton has begun to speak glowingly about Obama and the executive orders that are being challenged in federal courts.
'You know how she's so positive about the president? You know why? It's because she wants to stay out of the klink, that's why!' he said to a chorus of cheers.
He also had choice words for Clinton's only realistic challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
'He's a wacko,' the real estate tycoon said of the avowed Democratic socialist. 'He's a whack job – but he's beating Hillary Clinton!'
The thousands in Oklahoma gave Trump a raucous welcome and sustained applause.
Hearing a loud 'I love you!' from the group of supporters gathered in front of his podium, Trump squinted to locate the person who had yelled.
'I love you too,' he responded. 'Even though you're a guy.'
Trump claimed the rally was attended by 15,000 people, and that officials had turned away 5,000 more.
Oral Roberts university says the Mabee Center seats a maximum of 11,300. About 1,000 empty seats in the arena's corners remained empty while he spoke.
