Why is Bloomberg aiding Bernie Sanders?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

A.) Fear Bernie
B.) Be Smart

If A and B are true, then he can see staying in helps Bernie and brings that dreaded socialism closer to reality. Why does he stay in? Entitlement? Ego? Desire?

I'm fine with Bernie. I may vote Bernie.

I DO NOT understand Bloomberg.

He may have been liked by New York City voters, but I don't think the country at large cares much for him. He could be spending his money in far better ways for the country. I would expect him to drop out after Super Tuesday.
