Didn't presidential candidate Bernie Sanders promise this? [View all]

Sanders said, "All the way to Philadelphia!"

He didn't concede.

He didn't congratulate his opponent for her historic primary victory.

He didn't suspend his candidacy.

He didn't release his delegates.

He didn't stop the roll call of every state.

What he did was keep campaigning, rallying, criticizing, taking contributions, asking for contributions.

Why are we so surprised and dismayed that his supporters and delegates act up at the Democratic Convention?

This is what he promised!
