Weitz's below post is resonating with me the most as the simplest explanation:
I still find it terrible that he used other people's racist fears to win. On one had, I don't think he is a racist, but he let people take things whatever the way they wanted to and was fine with it knowing full well that racists would embrace it. Then I think, well isn't that racist?

I think he will be terrible for the sole reason that he is impulsive and disrespectful in general. He may want to do good, but I just don't think he is fit. It's like saying, I hate career doctors. I want my next surgery to be completed by a railway tycoon. No matter how big of an ego that tycoon has or how badly he wants to be remembered as not being "the worst" surgeon, I know that I am probably not leaving the hospital with all my parts in tact.
