Conservative in the same plane with US president (9)
I believe the answer is:
cleveland
'us president' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'conservative in the same plane with' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'conservative' could be 'c' (UK political abbreviation) and 'c' is located in the answer.
'plane' could be 'level' (synonyms) and 'level' is located in the answer.
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleveland that I've seen before include "Democrat leader once" , "Northeast English county, created 1974" , "former President" , "US President?" , "Large city of Ohio" .)
