Even if it doesn't result in a sea of voters going to the polls to take their anger out on the White House, what it may do is keep Republicans at home. That's a problem for them.

Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger. The more they are displaying anger, the lower the stress responses.

Anger can sometimes be adaptive. We're showing for the first time that when you are in a situation that is maddening and in which anger or indignation are justifiable responses, anger is not bad for you.

I'm not terribly swayed by polls at this point.

Does it win them new voters _ probably not, ... but it does solidify their bases.

It's not likely, but I can see the math.
