Hastert had a dem majority. His purpose was to thwart any effort by Reagan to garner any support for his agenda. The dem party has b3an on this path for decades, none of this is new. He along with the dem leader in the Senate and house. Had the same plan as today. Defeat and remove Reagan. Kill him of they could and they tried. Pelosi now finds herself in the position of getting a majority of dems to support MAGA or watch the party crumble. Catch 22.
