What a great country this is.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign chose Grand Rapids as the backdrop to Vance&rsquo;s first rally with the hope that his Ohio upbringing would appeal to Midwest voters, despite the rivalry between the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University, Vance&rsquo;s alma mater.
