Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens said that it was important for Donald Trump to lose the general election so utterly that the Republican party and its voters "learn their lesson" and never nominate someone like him ever again.

The distorted thinking that leads to this type of wish is:

1) all or nothing thinking
2) overgeneralization
3) mental filter
4) discounting the positive
5) magnification
