"Americans were ready for a change in leadership."
Explanation: Reagan’s 1980 landslide reflected widespread dissatisfaction with the Carter administration (economy, Iran hostage crisis), and many voters— including so-called "Reagan Democrats"—crossed party lines to support him. It did not prove a permanent Republican majority, nor that voters wanted reduced military spending (Reagan campaigned for stronger defense), and it directly contradicts the idea that Americans did not cross party lines.
