Trump supporters were 100% sure that the appeals court would throw out the whole ruling. Wrong again.

These people don't understand how the appellate standards of review work. Most cases that get high publicity in appellate courts concern constitutional questions, which are full blown questions of law that get de novo review (basically a blank canvas for the appellate court), so most people think that appellate courts will just willy nilly reverse a trial court's decision.

Most of what the Trump team will be appealing from is subject to clear error review, which requires a showing that there was basically no basis for the trial court's decisions/ruling.

As Engoron's order plainly shows, there is ample evidence to support his findings. I also heavily doubt that any evidentiary or procedural errors would be so prejudicial as to warrant a reversal of the judgment.
