> Polls suggest they have a lot of support, but their leaders seem to have decided not to use their voice.

Is that really true? Just off the top of my head, Lindsey Graham has been pretty vocal the last few months. I would paint him as a poster boy of the American moderate right (holding fairly conservative positions but clearly opposed to the more extreme American right).

If you mean the actual leadership, e.g. Paul Ryan, well I think it's obvious why they've stayed silent.

I think those moderate voices are just being drowned out.
