130. I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

Showing emotion gives you humanity. Sometimes you must address the emotional impact of an event with a little emotion of your own.

Off handedly dismissing a comment and a very applicable example isn't a strength, it's a weakness. Politics is more than pure theoretical debate on dry issues, it's often emotionally charged, and requires a range of communication skills that extend beyond the purely intellectual.

Show of emotion is something Republicans do well. That doesn't make such displays bad, it makes Republicans more effective. Being right on the issues is something Democrats do well, but we don't have to choose between the two, we can be right, and still be angry, happy, excited, thoughtful, empatheic, warm, and fiery. If we did, we'd win more often.
