He, his staff, the party - hairsplitting. Winning the election by reducing Carter's chances by deying him this success was the agenda.

You know the hostages were held in captivity for over 440 days. That being the case how in hell did Reagan know he was going to be elected in the first place to orchestrate such a delay?

More hairpslitting. It was about increasing the chances of a win for the Republicans and not allowing Carter to benefit from a success with the hostage deal. The Iranians assessed the chances of both election outcomes, and made their decisions. What did they have to lose? Nothing.

Obviously I hit a nerve of yours (again), else you would not weasel this much with nothing but useless rhetorical tricks.
