I am sure my list omits some of your "favorites", but the following are the Top Three Profoundly

Stupid Republicans in my opinion:

Louie Gohmert, Marjorie Taylor-Greene and, of course, Ron Johnson.

This is not intended to list the most hated, most evil or most infuriating, though some of these would make at least "dishonorable mention" in all those categories.

""Profoundly Stupid" is the standard considered here.

There are soooo many who qualify for top three... Or top five... Sheesh, so much right wing stupidity today.

Edit - Being from Colorado, I'd want Boebert in there but for the life of me, I can't pick one to remove.

candidates for my list. I considered a "Top Five", then a "Top Ten" and then remembered that the GOP is currently an intellectual desert and a "Top Fifty" would still omit several "deserving" candidates.

So,----"Top Three" is all I'm up to.

Cynical and probably corrupt, that I'll buy. Willing to sell anyone and anything to further their own goals (IMHO, McConnell's is power, I have no clue about Graham), two-faced, toadies sucking up to their donors - sure. But not stupid - especially when compared to the bulk of the Republicans in Congress

Paul Gosar, U.S. Representative for Arizona's 4th Congressional District is Profoundly Stupid
Even his siblings are in agreement that Paul is not too smart - and is in fact, dumb as a decaying molar.

at reading the script. No more, no less. Some are less believable, some seem to not know what they're saying, and some seem uncomfortable, but they all tow the line. The whacky is so good at getting ink, it's hard to say it's not intentional. It's like reality tv. Who's acting, and who's whacked?

There is also a lot of stupid (or crazy, take your pick) among "mainstream" Republicans like Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Tom Cotton, and many more.

Jim Gilmore. I was told by a long time state employee and Republican (old school Rockefeller type) that Gilmore had to be the DUMBEST person ever to be Governor. The state runs off a biennial budget so everything is over two years. Gilmore could never grasp that. His aids had to regularly remind him of this. He was dumb in other ways too apparently.
