About Trump delaying the election

I know he doesn't really have the power to do so.
BUT!
How many things has he done and continues to do that people said would be stopped.
I remember people saying he couldn't get away with enriching himself from office.
Pardoning people to keep them quiet about him.
Turning over our foreign policy to other countries.
Ignoring SCOTUS rulings.
And on and on.
I am tired of people saying things will never happen.
He can get away with anything that the people with any power to stop him don't.
What if he announces a delay and all the Republican Sec of States in the Red States go along with it and don't hold the election?

Plus Charlie Baker and Larry Hogan would never participate in this charade.
