This election cycle for me is about voting against the candidates and the things I don’t like about the political process.

Kelly didn’t end up in the bottom three after completely butchering her song (even by her own admission!) and Chris did? I guess America really does love dumb blondes. I also fail to see the hoopla about Katharine. She…
