I'm focused on bringing real change to Washington because the career politicians have screwed things up so badly.
— Carlos Beruff
Rubio can't hold Trump's water.
Politicians can talk and talk and talk until they're silly, and they do nothing.
The Republican establishment no longer stands for us.
I have eight guns. I do have a concealed weapons permit.
If we don't send people to Washington who, first of all, have done something more than talk for a living - which is what many politicians have done - nothing gets done.
I love my heritage. I'm very proud of being Cuban. But I clearly understand that I am an American first.
I had a really nice car. You can drive 103 and it not be dangerous.
Free trade is an important component of our economy, but it also has to be fair. Too often, the needs of American workers are ignored while the interests of huge corporations are the focus of these trade deals.
I brought attention to the fact that people need to be more involved in politics and not just let the establishment continue to control politics.
A country without borders is not a country.
I've never been against doing business with Cuba.
We all owe America. It's not the other way around.
Here's the American situation - we have moved from a culture of independence to a culture of dependence. We have moved from capitalism into the direction of socialism. We have moved from being a beacon of strength internationally to a position of weakness.
Of one thing I am certain: we are foolish if we think we will achieve change by sending the same crowd of people back to run our government again and again.
Career politicians like Marco Rubio worry more about keeping the job than doing the job and are constantly looking for their next political promotion.
There is only one Donald Trump, as we know. But there are aspects of where he's coming from that I understand, which is business people that have built and actually created jobs in this country.
I cut to the point. I don't mealy-mouth around about it.
I've always been a believer that if you don't bet on yourself, how can you ask anyone else to.
I made the decision I will back Mr. Trump, it's not very complicated. I don't pussyfoot around playing the odds.
Giving money doesn't make you an insider. If that's considered being an insider, I guess Donald Trump is an insider. That doesn't make sense.
One of the reasons that our colleges have gotten so expensive is because of tenure.
If I'm going to compare myself to a candidate, it's Rick Scott. It's not Donald Trump.
Everything I've learned, I've learned with the beatings I've gotten from all of the bad choices I made.
I am personally looking forward to advancing policies that will help make the future of our state even stronger than it already is.
President Obama has proven himself to be a terrible negotiator. I don't support any trade deal negotiated by his administration.
Name recognition takes time.
Folks in Washington have it all figured out - they are going to make your choices and run your life.
Growing up, we had to work. If you wanted anything at all that was more than basic food and shelter, you had to make your own money.
I care deeply about the direction of our country.
Our country is miserably off track; this is something that all but the far left agree on. I personally came to the point where I felt a responsibility to try to do something about it, and I've been blessed enough in business to be able to take a shot at running for office.
People should not be paid to go to Washington and not do their job. When they don't show up, why should we pay them?
Sarasota-Bradenton is a unique community to live in.
Democrats refuse to deal with reality. They make things up, sensationalize common sense solutions, and exacerbate this obsession over political correctness.
When my blood pressure goes up, my Spanish stuff kicks in.
There is only one Donald Trump, but people make comparisons because I'm blunt.
I either go all in or all out.
Politicians in Washington are useless.
Trust is a big deal in life, and I'm very old-school about that stuff.
Quitting is not part of my DNA.
I almost went broke. I didn't file bankruptcy, but I had some miserable times there for two or three years.
Our trade negotiations should ensure that American workers are protected and that there are mechanisms in place to deal with other countries cheating.
We must defend our NATO allies, but we should also ensure that everyone pays their fair share. The United States shouldn't be responsible for funding other countries' shares.
We must fix our immigration system so we control who comes and goes, and that starts by securing our southern border.
I am not a politician. I am just a business guy who has had enough.
Some call me a Cuban hyphen American. I reject that. I don't believe in hyphenated Americans.
I do not take orders from Washington, and I suggest that no one else should either.
I made the miscalculation of taking Mr. Rubio at his word that he wouldn't seek re-election if he lost the presidential primary.
Like Marco Rubio in 2010, I'm not going to back down from the Washington establishment. They are the problem, not the solution.
I don't want to be another country. I want to be the United States of America, the greatest country in the world.
