Jimmy Kimmel tricks Clinton supporters into liking Trump’s tax plan [Video]

On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel pondered something we often mull over here at The Fix: Are voters paying attention to the specific policies their favorite candidate rolls out?

"It seems to me people pick a candidate and then support whatever that candidate says," the host of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" said on his show.

To test his hypothesis, Kimmel sent a team into the streets to find people claiming to support Hillary Clinton. An interviewer asked those Clinton supporters if they'd be okay with her plan to, say, cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent? To eliminate the estate tax? To end federal income taxes for people making less than $25,000 a year?

According to the interviews Kimmel shared on his show (no telling how many he didn't), those answers were "yes," "yes" and "umm ... yeah."

As loyal Fix readers know, those proposals are actually ripped off the page from Donald Trump's tax plan, much of which fits into a Republican platform on taxes.

Hey, it happens to the best of us.
