The Republican leadership hates him. The Speaker of the House refuses to endorse him. They even trotted Romney out to launch a blistering attack on him.
If he's elected, he'll be able to get some stuff done, sure. But with a Republican party that largely detests him, and a Democrat party that will almost certainly filibuster the shit out of his inane proposals, I think we'll be seeing more of the same in Congress.
The real danger of a Trump candidacy is on the world stage.

Even if they manage to get on the ballot on every state, they still have to be polling 15% on five national polls in order to make it to the debates. And even if they do that, they still won't get the exposure needed to overcome everything else.
Johnson is on the ballot in all fifty states.
