Voters who backed Trump identify new swamp to drain: corporate power

Saginaw county Republicans want new president to target big pharma, healthcare and food - can they rely on him?

Saginaw's Republicans were amused by the suggestion that their anger at corporate power in America and the military-industrial complex made them sound like liberals from a bygone age.

Yet Lori Patterson, chair of the local Republican party in this crucial region in the swing state of Michigan, was steadfast in her belief that Donald Trump will complete his oft-made promise to drain the swamp". She believes Trump will take on the corporate giants she said wield too much control over US politics and citizens' lives even as the incoming US president assembles a cabinet stacked with billionaires.
