I was expecting them to endorse Bennett tbh.

LOL WaPo. Apparently not threatening to shut down the government means you're moderate these days.

She's campaigning on bipartisanship in a swing district? What a brave FF!

Any Republican to left of Ted Cruz or Louie Gohmert is now a 'sensible moderate'.

Hopefully northern Virginia is a place where this can carry some weight.

Don't understand - why. Comstock very successfully maskquerades her very conservative voting record by sounding as a "reasonable moderate", but she has nothing with it in common. I would easily support someone like Tom Davis, but never - Comstock.

She's toast.

It's a pretty tepid endorsement. Also, where the endorsement is not confusing (she's a far right conservative but she sometimes speaks more like a moderate) it's extremely naive (hopefully she can move the Republican Party more to the mainstream.)

If I were Trump, I'd allege fraud in this endorsement and wonder if their was some kind of quid pro quo between the Washington Post and Comstock. However, since I'm not Trump, I'd never make any such allegation.
