In fact, the question "How did you define your own politics?" is not challenging at all. There are so many good answers to this question.
She might, for instance, say that she refuses to define herself because these definitions - left, right, liberal, progressive, conservative, moderate - are divisive, and she seeks to unite Americans, not divide them.
She might say that it is the prerogative of the people to evaluate the president's politics.
Or she might even say that she views herself as moderate and doesn't accept extreme left-wing dogma like that men can't be feminists. “Frankly, I think that opinion is idiotic.” This would be scandalous but bring her a lot of votes from non-affiliated voters.
Or she could pick a category and explain the meaning she gives to that category.
