Corrupt Democrat located (5)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
