Yeah...it was a bad day...a bad week. But, it will bounce back...always does. I am not yet retired, so no biggie (even though on paper it is a LOT of money). If I were retired right now, it would be time to dip into the 3-year emergency fund until this comes back. But, I'm not, so I will just add to it and wait.

... and now we see the problem caused by the political corruption within the FBI. Who will believe this? Democrats of course. And if someone in the CIA came out tomorrow saying this is crap, who would believe that? Republicans.
I see something like this and I immediately think "Are those Democrats in the CIA making this up?", and I am justified in thinking that. Obama has irreparably damaged the intelligence and law enforcement agencies at the Federal level. They have no credibility left as politically impartial.

It's true, think about it... the tech giants are run by Hillary liberal puppets. They orchestrated a multi-day sell off in their sector to cause a domino effect across the broader global stocks markets. All this as retaliation for Hillary's loss and the Dreamers' demise. Think about it!

To make Obama's economy look bad? Why would they do that?
A very good day to be a Trumpster, believe me.

Liberals Unite?
I’m a liberal and just have to laugh at that source.

One of us is right, the other wrong. The way we break the tie is that we try both ways and then find out what works and what fails.
All the tests have been done. Everything has been tried. This is what works:
1. Free market capitalism.
2. Government that protect the rights of the individual, as opposed to granting favors to various groups or putting the good of the "State" over the good of the individual.
3. Representative forms of government where those in power answer to the people.
4. Constitutional government where those in power are constrained by a rule book, so that a simple majority can not oppress the minority.
5. Limited government where government can not buy votes by giving away other people's money.
6. Decentralized power. The closer the government is to the people, the tighter the feedback loop, the better the outcome.
It just so happens that the US is based on all 6 of those, so the things that I think are important, those that have worked throughout history ... are the law of the land.
Any deviation from that makes things worse. Liberalism attacks 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.
Again, that seems simplistic and, dare I say, dogmatic, but supposing we were to agree on your criteria how would you score conservatism in principal and in current practice against this list?

Obama's economy and market performance are in the books, clearly he crushed it. Not looking so good for Trump though - soon we will have runaway inflation, USD continues to plummet, and the stock market is losing air quickly. I know this is slightly different than the picture Trump paints in his tweets, but you can keep deciding we are winning under him. Deep state!
Poor Donald, he has had lots of losing lately. After bragging relentlessly about how his policies caused great growth in the stock market, it tanked. The minority report refuting nunes memo will be released. The Pennsylvania supreme court ruled that the Republican drawn lines that favored the republicans violated the state constitution and will have to be withdrawn. (It must stink for them not to be able to cheat again) Trump's desperation was reflected in his calling dems who didn't clap for him treasonous. Top economist have been vocal about fears regarding the effects of tax plan. One of the women accusing Donald of sexual harassment is running for office. Even Republican allies are disagreeing with Donald when he says the nunes memo vindicated him.
Instead of having a love fest at the whitehouse with the superbowl champs he expected, he has to go through the humiliation of wondering if the eagles even want to come.
Yes it's been a bad few days for poor donald.

Right. Freedom and free market principles are always "simplistic" to liberals, but "white privilege" isn't. OK.
First you should have the integrity to admit that liberalism attacks these principles on a regular basis. I noticed no one is disagreeing with that, so we'll take that as a given.
The answer to your question depends on what you mean by "conservative". There are too many groups that get lumped under that heading, starting at libertarians and going all the way to establishment Republicans. But let's say you're talking about the performance of the average Republican congressman over the last few decades. I would grade them this way:
1. B+
2. A-
3. A
4. D-
5. D+
6. D+
Which is why the eReps are in so much trouble.

Yes they are in the books, and he set a record for not having a single year of 3%+ growth during his term. He crushed the economy all right. He proved Kenyanesian economics don't work.

With the correct LONG TERM investment strategies and a solid retirement income plan, there would be no need to dip into any emergency funds with such a small correction. Be patient, the market WILL come back. With a good investment mix and adequate savings, this is just a tiny blip, even if well into retirement.
This whole witch hunt should be really easy to dismantle in an interview, especially but such a stable genius as Trump.
