Syndicated talk radio host Michael Medved said "desperate Democrats" are just repeating Hillary Clinton's "major mistakes."
"Republicans face media derision if they follow the unconventional, outrageous strategies of their successful presidential candidate," he wrote in a column for USA Today.
"But what about the desperate Democrats who seem oddly eager to mimic the major mistakes of their defeated standard-bearer?
"President Trump has earned his share of sour reviews for his first hundred days in office, but no one can defend the flailing, failing liberal leadership in its mad rush to replicate the disastrous decisions that doomed Hillary Clinton's once promising presidential prospects."
Medved claimed Clinton destroyed her campaign by making critical mistakes, including her emphasis on what she was against and not what she was for.
"Clinton conducted one of the most negative campaigns in recent history that focused almost entirely on discrediting and demonizing Donald Trump," he said.
He also noted she relied on "identity politics rather than mass persuasion."
"The Clinton campaign's overconfidence stemmed from slicing and dicing the American electorate by race and gender and concluding that their pieces of the pie added up to more votes than Trump's," he said.
And, he wrote, she remained "deaf to the message that ‘inside' was out.
"Every time her well-meaning supporters or slick TV commercials emphasized Clinton's standing as "the most qualified candidate in history" it simply re-enforced her status as the ultimate insider," he said.
And Democrats are "self-destructively determined" to make the same mistakes, he said.
"At this point, disheartened progressives may look at Trump's follies and foibles and ask themselves: how did this goofball ever manage to beat us?" he said. "Unfortunately for Democrats, their own leadership is still reminding them of the answer."
