If there is something I learned from politicians is that you should never respond to what was asked, but to what you wish was asked instead.

If you know what you are talking about you can still respond to "How would you prioritize technical debt" and offer way more than a direct technical answer. You have to take opportunity to "enhance" every question you are asked with information that portray you in a good light and directs the conversation towards where you think you can generate most value.
