Corrupt Democrat located (5)
I believe the answer is:
based
'located' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'corrupt democrat' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' becomes 'base'.
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'base'+'d'='BASED'
(Other definitions for based that I've seen before include "Positioned" , "Worthless" , "Located" , "Founded, grounded" , "(Of aircraft) stationed" .)
