“Those who did answered with vagaries, like one woman who simply explained her support with, ‘Oh, for many, many reasons.’”

“Vagaries” is synonymous with whim, not vagueness, Casey.

Good catch. Jesse Jacksonism from the left-using “big” words incorrectly or out of context (never mind pronunciation).

Actually, vagaries is defined as an unexpected and inexplicable change in a situation or someone’s behavior. A few synonyms are quirk, idiosyncrasy, peculiarity, oddity and, yes, whim. In plain English, the WaPo b’tch doesn’t understand us, poor dear. Oh, and she’s only pretending to try to understand us. I’d actually find it amusing to chat with her. Kind of like the way a cat plays with a mouse before going in for the kill.

I doubt smug Casey knows the difference between "vagaries" and "vagueries," but would probably jump on a Trump supporter's usage error.

I caught that as well. What kind of journalist does not even proof read her story? Oh...never mind
