The reference to silent majority was not specifically Ted Cruz supporters but those who see themselves as conservative. They are those who represent the angry voters who have come out this time to the primaries and have rejected every candidate they saw as establishment running this cycle. They are the voters who were fed up with John Boehner's leadership in the House and McConnell's leadership in the Senate and fed up with the Republicans who were voting with Democrats to pass legislation that was contrary to what they promised their constituents they would do. Many of these sellout votes were coming from representatives/senators in NE states, five of which Trump took handily in Tuesday's primary.
But hey, I'll let Cruz explain to you why Boehner had to resign.
When Boehner called Cruz Lucifer while endorsing Trump his texting/golfing buddy and good friend, proves who the real outsider is in this race and it ain't Trump. People have been played.
Boehner: Trump my golfing and texting buddy, Cruz ?Lucifer in the Flesh?
Perhaps the majority of Republicans are upset at Washington because instead of actually bringing around change, they just don't do anything as an act of protest(Cruz). Perhaps they are looking to someone who actually gets things done and can bring people together(Trump). I think your idea that the majority of this silent majority in the Republican party is only looking for anti-Establishment candidates is rather short sighted. Most people are looking to nominate someone that will actually do something. Ted Cruz and his ilk do nothing but collect checks while reading children's books, completely ignoring what is job is.
