However, the memo also made clear that the arrangement pertained to only the general election, not the primary season, and it left open the possibility that it would sign similar agreements with other candidates.

It's not a conspiracy that people like and prefer you because you have invested a lifetime into a political party. Wanting to take something you haven't earned sounds more like the real conspiracy.
