The Textus Receptus IS the majority text.  The one most
majorly received.  Received text.  IOW, the one that was 
most common throughout all christendom when Erasmus went to
work to make it.

The so-called "older Manuscripts" (Vaticanus and Sinaiticus)
were RAREST!!!  They were LOST for centuries.  The TR represents
the texts that were always around.  Which would you think God condoned?
The rarest which were lost for generations or the common ones?

We need to look at textual criticism with a viewpoint through faith.
Faith tells me that the common one which was not hidden away from 
generations is the God-ordained one.  It only makes sense.  And that 
is the TR.
