In the 1984 presidential election the Democrats had nominated Walter Mondale, a traditional New Deal-type liberal.
When Mondale was defeated in a landslide, party leaders became eager to find a new approach to win the presidency, you see.
Also, you have to keep in mind that the Democrats controlled the House of Representatives all throughout Reagan's tenure as President; and had the Senate for the last 2 years of his presidency. So they still could "win".
