Frida Ghitis: Why Americans voted to put Donald Trump back in office? She says the best explanation is simple: Wealth inequality.

She says Reagan 's tax cuts have made the rich richer as wages stagnate and the middle class shriveled.

Ghitis says the bottom 50 percent of the nation's wealth has shrunk dramatically since Reagan took office.

David Gergen : Why would someone living on the edge vote for Republicans , whose policies have only tended to make the poor and the middle class more miserable? He asks: Why in the name of Heaven would they vote for Trump , a billionaire born with a silver spoon in his mouth who has lied and cheated his way through life? The reason, my friends, may well be that those on the losing end of our thriving economy don’t see it as thriving.
