So are you predicting that Trump will be unsuccessful getting the conviction overturned?

No. A case can have legal merit and still be overturned. Sometimes you have procedural errors at trial, sometimes you have close questions of law where the prosecution's case is a legitimate interpretation, but a court finds the other way. And in this weird scenario, a case can have been completely meritorious when originally filed but develop a legal defect because the defendant happens to have won a Presidential election, which raises a ton of weird constitutional issues that wouldn't have been present at the time of filing or even the trial.
