Without a loss Tuesday night, former President Donald Trump hailed a perfect 12-0 record in a Truth Social post Wednesday.

Trump's primary endorsement record is now, according to an unofficial Newsmax tally, 143-10, a 93.5% winning percentage (Trump officials count candidates advancing to a runoff as victories).

Among the most noteworthy victories included a pair of Trump-endorsed candidates winning in the reliably blue state of Illinois, where Trump held a Save America rally Saturday, stumping for Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., and gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey.

Trump called Miller "a star" Wednesday.

"Well, Mary Miller did it, she won BIG in Illinois tonight," Trump wrote after she was projected the winner by Decision Desk HQ at 10:13 p.m. ET, Newsmax's election results partner. "She campaigned hard and smart. Congratulations to a very fine woman!"

. . .

"The last thing that J.B. Pritzker, considered by many to be the worst governor in the country, wanted, was to run against Darren Bailey, a very popular state senator with a big, beautiful and powerful base, who won the Republican nomination in a landslide last night," Trump wrote Wednesday.

. . .

Here is the rundown of the 12 Trump-endorsed winners Tuesday night, as Politico reported, which could not bring itself to call it an unbeaten sweep of Trump endorsements in its story:

1. Miller in Illinois' 15th District
2. Bailey in Illinois' GOP gubernatorial primary
3. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., in Colorado's 3rd District
4. Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., in Illinois' 12th District
5. Rep. Darren LaHood, R-Ill. in Illinois' 18th District
6. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt
7. Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., in Oklahoma's 1st District
8. Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., in Oklahoma's 3rd District
9. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., in Oklahoma's 4th District
10. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah
11. Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, in Utah's 2nd District
12. Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah, in Utah's 4th District

Does 12 to 0 indicate, perhaps, maybe, a TREND? LOL.

“The influence of Trump is fading! The Republican party must put Trump behind them!”

Trump only picks those he thinks has a shot, he won’t stick his neck out and endorse someone who has more than a slight chance of losing.

So sorry, not impressed.

It’d be better if his record instead of 12-0 was something like 14-10, it would be worth it if his record (which ultimately means nothing) took a hit if it meant a getting a few more good Conservatives in while removing more RINO scum.

Hilarious how Trump’s influence is fading fast. He is using the grassroots to choke the DC jungle!

No it wouldn't.

Trump's endorsements are geared to winning the House and Senate period.

Your approach would guarantee on, or both, of the House and Senate remaining under the control of the Democrats

They are not, as you said:

Trump only picks those he thinks has a shot, he won’t stick his neck out and endorse someone who has more than a slight chance of losing.

Furthermore, President Trump's endorsements also include more long-shots where he backs somebody who is behind in the polls that then goes onto win.

You're just simply wrong on this matter!

When you are killing cockroaches you will find them in groups and then you hit them and the rest scurry. You need to hund the rest down which takes time. But you may get 50-75% in the first blast of pesticide.

DC wasn't infested overnight.

I’m surprised no one is jumping all over him for his last-minute endorsement of Bailey who had a big lead like they did when he endorsed Mastriano in PA.

Get the low hanging fruit first. And Cheney is some low hanging fruit. She is about to be pruned.

[rdl6989]

Yeah, this sure proves it lol.

[Jonny7797]

Another overly critical conservative.

There are polls out there that show the Trump bump and it’s significant. His endorsement has flipped elections and in some cases, almost instantly. Regardless, one of 2 things is occurring: either Trump has keen insight about who will win, or his influence is making winners.

Where are the usual hind sight geniuses braying on about Bush league, not conservative enough? You know, the experts on who they think should NOT be endorsed but can't name one they recommend.

Well except for the genius that said Susan Collins was good (conservative?) enough (you know who you are).

[RedMonqey]

I’ll celebrate when these candidates win in November.

Don’t count your chickens til they hatch.

5. Rep. Darren LaHood, R-Ill. in Illinois’ 18th District

!?!?!!??!?!!?!

His father is Ray LaHood, who was SO uniparty that he was Obama’s token Republican in the Cabinet, acting exactly the same way as a Democrat appointee would have.

Liz, is that you? Or is it the Dick Cheney?

[dainbramaged]

I love that guy.

The Republican party must put Trump behind them!” <<<

LOL...if they do..they might as well become democrats ...you included...

[MayflowerMadam]

We’ve wondered why he didn’t officially endorse Andrew Giuliani.
