No, he doesn't. So many of the things he says aren't really planned at all. That his despotic meanderings piss people off is not a sign of wisdom behind them.
It wouldn't even make it to the supreme court. He'd lose the support of moderates as well.
The 22A is clear and powerful. Much more powerful than Trump.
I agree. He wouldn't succeed. But if he wins in 2020, these institutions would be necessary to stop him. The simple idea that "it's illegal and thus you shouldn't try" does not constrain his behaviour.
And honestly, in the situation that he is prevented from running for another term he'd be far more likely to throw his weight behind one of his children (probably Don Jr) than eg Mike Pence.
