Consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis "Political analysts cited the standoff as a major factor in the downfall of Carter's presidency, culminating in his landslide loss in the 1980 presidential election. The hostages were formally released into American custody one day after the Algiers Accords were signed, just minutes following the first inauguration of Ronald Reagan." Also: there was our "little naval war" with Iran in 1988. It's not "just" the GOP. I honestly don't believe. But then, I was teaching US History at the time and staying up on current events.
