Betting on an outcome you don't want is hedging. Or insurance. Are you too principled for insurance?
It's only a conflict of interest if you're also responsible for determining the outcome.

Maybe, I can see that backing him might be stretching one's principles.
In my case, I'm pretty comfortable with the fact that I don't support him at all. I can't see a way that doing so would influence the outcome either, so I'm ok with it.

Call me over-principled, but betting on an outcome you don't want is a conflict of interest (unless it's a hedge I guess).
