I suspect that you have become so accustomed to losing that you don’t realize that winning furthers your principles much better. In this election, winning is the only principle that matters to me. If Ted Cruz were doing as well as Donald Trump, I would be supporting him instead of Donald Trump. he’s not though. It really does look like the best he can hope for is a VP pick and if his supporters continue to act like you, I don’t even see him getting that.
Supporting a damned Democrat goes against everything I believe, and you can tell yourself differently in order to justify backing Trump, but that's the simple truth.
"In this election, winning is the only principle that matters to me. "
Winning isn't a principle, so I guess you have none.
I'm sorry for you.
