"Candidates George Pataki and Jim Gilmore have already been disqualified from the Alabama Primary, yet they remain in the race. Only a handful of candidates (Bush, Trump, Cruz and to a lesser extent Rubio & Fiorina) have efforts underway to qualify for ballot placement in all of the states with primary dates prior to April 1st 2016. Donald Trump is the only candidate currently qualified for Virginia and time is running short for a rather complex qualification process. Bush and Cruz are also expected to qualify (5,000 signatures w/ 200 from each congressional district). Kasich and Fiorina are focused on New Hampshire; Chris Christie also appears to be making an effort in New Hampshire. However, nothing exists beyond Iowa for Jindal and Carson; and Illinois/Virginia are extremely complex qualification processes."

These “economic socialists” support higher minimum wages, for example; many dislike “big business” in general but feel compelled to shop at Wal-Mart. But I doubt they favor wasteful government spending to the extent most other Americans seem to do.
