Okay

1 - Let's ask "is Sansa a political player, yes or no" and then move down to whether she was "strong". Brienne of Tarth was "strong" as was Gilly, but I wouldn't call them "political players".

2 - While this is a separate question, even within the TV show, mass numbers of TV viewers found the change to put Sansa in a rape subplot derailed the character arc she was on, and introduced a lot of pole holes or contrivances (how the heck could Littlefinger not know who Ramsay was? And if he didn't...why did he put no effort into finding out?  What did he even seek to benefit from marrying her off to the Boltons?)
