Whoever wins, the White House and government agencies will continue to be staffed and run by people with previous experience.

Trump is a wildcard, for everyone, supporting him or not. His rhetoric panders towards certain groups and is worth an enormous amount of money in free press coverage. The things candidates say before and after being elected are not particularly credible but I suspect this is even less so. The track record isn't there, the Republicans certainly have no idea what he will do.

If Trump was elected, the US government would still have to be filled with humans, and for the most part these will not be the type of people who are responding positively to him right now.

As a side note, I don't see any problem with "gridlock." Every time a bill passes in to law, we get 1,000+ pages of new rules, exemptions, loopholes, and special favors. An acceleration of this would not be particularly desirable.
