I can relate to your daughter actually.
First of all, don't start judging your daughter on a few statements. Give her some credit. You raised her didn't you.
Give her some space and respect her intelligence.
Perhaps she is in the process of converting (or making more reasonable) a Republican. He must see something in your daughter after all.
So she can see some points on the Republican side. The debt ceiling is ridiculous. Government spending is out of control because of Bush's tax cuts during 2 wars and two new Big Government programs. WE can all admit it. It's not Obama's fault, perhaps that's where she is confused but did she say that? Many Republicans are just as disillusioned with Bush and Romney, that is why they focus their hate on Obama.
And hell, the Republican party has always been this crazy. There might have been a happy balance in this country if they hadn't gotten all power hungry, greedy and sadistic. Maybe they can return to sanity, with the help of people like your daughter.
