Well, the PPT isn't exactly riding to the rescue today. We'll see what happens at the close.
A lot of Trump's appeal has revolved around the healthy stock market, but if that is brought into doubt over the next few weeks, it could swing the mid term elections in the House. A change of 25 votes is needed.
But what about the 2/3 requirement in the Senate, doesn't that make moot the House vote to impeach? No, because if Trump really got out of line big time, the Deep State could arm twist the required 2/3 in the Senate.
Historically, in the first term Presidents are kept in line by their need for Party support in the next election for their 2nd term. But in the 2nd term that won't work, so the threat of impeachment is then used to keep the President from going too far off the reservation.
Who knows, controlling Trump may not be a factor at all behind this stock market decline, but the lack of PPT action seems suspicious. The market has been rigged for years, using the e-minis, so why would the PPT suddenly withdraw support 3 weeks prior to the election?
