Being a politician Clinton and / or her campaign managers most likely threw this out as a teaser to gauge public response to the topic.

No response = no action and comments along the lines of ..."That is an important point but I think the real issue here is..."

Big response = item is now part of the political manifesto. The Obama "change" theme is now echoed by ALL politicians after the response from voters in Iowa and New Hampshire.
