Badly need job — one installed as Democrat (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
joe biden
'democrat' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'badly need job one installed' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one' becomes 'i' (roman numeral).
'installed' indicates putting letters inside.
'need'+'job'='needjob'
'needjob' anagrammed gives 'joebden'.
'joebden' enclosing 'i' is 'JOE BIDEN'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for joe biden that I've seen is " Runner".)
