    Yes. The Republican Party is people who are registered Republicans, the American people is everyone who’s a citizen of the United States. Most Republicans support this behavior, most Americans do not, which is why Republican presidential candidates always lose the popular vote.

      The Republicans usually lose the popular votes, but unfortunately not by enough because it should be a landslide. Most Republican voters vote based on who they hate rather than policy. They are in a culture war.
