Univision struck back Friday at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's $500 million lawsuit claiming that it unjustly broke a contract to broadcast beauty pageants, citing his "disgraceful allegations" about Mexican immigrants.

Univision lawyers filed papers in Manhattan federal court asking a judge to toss out the lawsuit Trump filed in July.

The lawyers said Trump destroyed the value of Univision's rights to broadcast the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants when he announced June 16 that he was running for president. ...

Trump is leading in the polls, people like Trump, therefore, zero adverse impact on Univision (?maybe?)

True there is the eye catching factor.

How does the illegale furore play in the Peorias of Mexico? I am not positive that they are getting huge sympathy in that quarter. These are people who are boogieing out on Mother Mexico and living loose, only to send back dollars (sometimes) and quite often involved in the scourge of modern criminal drug trade. They may secretly be saying thank you Donald Trump for bringing some sanity to this picture, for putting a lid on the US honey pot from which swarms of pestilence are coming back to us.

and that’s where the payment to build the wall comes from. File tax fraud and irs liens with all the major banks and take the money right from the bank before it goes out the door.

Excellent point. Illegal alien invaders are not Mexican immigrants. They’re thieves.

And perhaps even mainstream Mexico is contemptuous of them, for various reasons. They could think of far worse things in the status quo than Trump’s “wall with a big beautiful door.”

Might be. Trump didn’t maintain his empire by wantonly letting money slide out the door.

We could put a ten per cent tax on all remittances sent to Mexico. That’s about $2.3 billion on $23 billion sent back annually.

The wall costs about $ 2 billion.

Won’t be hard to find a judge who hates Trump. Univision will probably get their way.

It sucks when your opponent has more resources than you do.

Univision rakes in $2.9 Billion in sales EACH YEAR. They are also privately held. The company's resources (Broadcasting Media Partners) are not trivial.

Lots of luck with that ( NOT !) Univision...that’s NOT a cause to break a VALID contract.

Only God knows how that situation will turn out, but if God is smiling on Trump (which He frequently does on people who are destined to glorify His name) then Trump will not be fatally hurt by an adverse result. In fact it might get him even more support.

Yep. Real big stretch on damaging the brand. If anything Trump can prove the brand is worth more than when the contract was signed. The debate ratings are proof enough.

Say I decide to find illegals every day and get paid to do it.

How hard would it be?

Get a grip.

Do not get me wrong. Legal migration is always welcome.

Illegal invasion can go back home.

You have a border of a Nation, or you have no Nation.

Period.

“Struck back?” Begging the court to throw out the case is striking back?

What does ANY of this have to do with the resources of Univision? I said NOTHING in favor of illegal immigration.
