Politician cut cord with team (8)
I believe the answer is:
democrat
'politician' is the definition.
(I know that Democrat is a type of politician)
'cut cord with team' is the wordplay.
'cut' indicates an anagram (cut can mean mixed).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cord' put after 'team' is 'teamcord'.
'teamcord' anagrammed gives 'DEMOCRAT'.
(Other definitions for democrat that I've seen before include "Cleveland?" , "American politician" , "Member of US political party" , "US political party supporter" , "Person who believes in government by and for the people" .)
