Nobody should be surprised at what GoT shows and pushes the limits of brutality, and nobody should be surprised that people are pissed when they do it.

I think the downward arc for Sansa is near the bottom, and I expect she will get revenge by seasons end.

Question, who was/is the rightful heir to winter fell? Does it go to all male children regardless of age and then to a female? So, since everyone thinks that Bran is dead, is Sansa the rightful heir?

They can only rule when there is no male heir or husband. Like Lysa Aryan was wardeness of the Vail until Sweet Robin came of age or until she married little finger. Bear Island is another one that has a woman in charge because Jorah (Spelling) is banished and his father was Lord Commander of the KW and is now dead.

So if she kills all the Bolton's and doesn't marry and Bran never comes back she is the ruler of Winterfell.

I would say at this point, control of Winterfell is an appointed position. Even if Stark's have the lineage it's really moot.

But I don't think your question can be answered by the TV show. I would say in general with our world history, if Winterfell was liberated - IE, freed from other political constructs - Bran, then Rickon (both assumed dead) then Sansa, then Arya. Once Sansa/Arya bore a male child (after marriage to another highborn family), he would be King in waiting.

Summarize:
1. Bran
2. Rickon
3. Sansa until she bore male heir
4. Arya until she bore male heir

I think that would be about right.

I think so too. I was so proud of her when she finally stood up for herself and put that bitch in her place.
