Most people couldn't care less about reason in this context.
BUT, any Republican presidential candidate who signed that letter handed Hillary a huge weapon in Presidential debates. That is when this should come back to bit them. Even though they'll just say "Iran. Islamist. Bad. Evil." over and over again, I think she can make them look pretty un-Presidential when the time comes.

I appreciate the technical stuff.
From my perspective, this goes way beyond criticism or political theater. It's an absolutely amazing example of Republicans actively undermining a sitting President. I am continually floored by how little respect they have for the office when they don't like who occupies it. It is the exact opposite of patriotism and someone should be calling them out on it again and again.
I know these assholes are small minded, but one would think that no party would want to set this type of precedent.
