the decades long Reagan coalition.

To the extent there was a Reagan coalition it was dead by 1992. It was even starting to collapse in 1988.

But how did they vote down-ballot in 2012?

I think the main difference between Trump Dems and Reagan Dems is that Trump Dems will mainly go back to being Democrats ,while with Reagan Dems most of them realigned into becoming Republicans .

Well, no. Michael Dukakis in 1988 actually carried the majority of Democrats who purported to have voted Reagan, and an even larger percentage voted for Bill Clinton in 1992, which was the last year the question was asked.
