I guess I never saw this from Hillary. She very well could have been contemplating this, but kept it hidden in the wake of the Bernie onslaught.
Interesting that, if there was some agreement here, the bill with that corporate tax cut as its most important factor went through the Congress with 0.0000 votes from Democrats.

You may be right about Hillary, as a quick search shows her plan was to "tweak" corporate taxes and relevant rules, but at the same time Bill was out saying the 35% he instituted was too high and should be lowered. The reality is as you suggest, dems could not run on that, as corporations are evil, while pubs are free to do so, having thrown in with business and the evil rich.
I've, over the last few years, heard several dem congress members agree that rates needed to come down, but partisan politics precludes voting with the other side on most things these days. May also be an indicator that they knew this would be a pub/Trump win. On that front, drilling in ANWAR, and ACA individual mandate repeal made this a considerably bigger win for pubs.
