I don't see them moving immediately.

Hillary is not known for debates, she does much better in small groups, she does not do well in big arenas, she is not compelling. Right now she is pursuing the front-runner strategy, in that she can be hurt more by a primary process that gets combative in debates. So she speaks more to selective audiences.
