Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid was forced to do an about-face Wednesday after telling reporters he was “pulling” for Donald Trump to win the 2016 presidential election.Reid’s comment followed a question about whether the Nevada Democrat could work with Trump on issues if the New York Republican were elected president. “I was just trying to be funny with Donald Trump and obviously it wasn’t too funny,” Reid said.
