He was a very charismatic man who came off very likable and intelligent. He was extremely popular (his 1984 re-election bid was literally the biggest electoral victory in US history), and his policies on low-taxes and discretionary spending basically set the stage for modern conservative thinking.
There's a lot I don't like about him, but I think the most damning issue with his presidency was the whole Iran-Contra affair.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair
Basically, the US was selling weapons to drug-slinging terrorists in Central America, until Congress banned it. Then, Reagan's administration continued to do so, effectively funding an undeclared war without congressional approval, which is extremely, extremely illegal. Long story short, one of his generals lieutenant colonels took all the heat for it and Reagan got off scot-free.
The Iran-Contra affair makes Hillary's email scandal look like an old lady stealing ketchup packets from Denny's, but still the guy is a Republican demigod.
