http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/29/politics/pence-israel-2016-trip/Indiana Gov. Mike Pence met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, as part of a nine-day trip to the nation that's sure to set tongues wagging about his plans for the 2016 presidential race.
Netanyahu's Twitter account sent out a quick clip of the two during their meeting Monday in which Pence expressed support for Israel, and said he believes "the strong and broad and bipartisan support for the state of Israel...will be reflected in the decisions our United States Congress makes in the months ahead."
The meeting was part of a busy day in Israel for Pence, which included stops at a Holocaust memorial and a meeting with the Israeli minister of economy. It's the first of three days he'll spend on an "economic development mission to bring jobs and investment to Indiana," his office said and part of a broader nine-day trip that's included a visit to the Western Wall and time spent with Israeli troops....
It's the governor's fifth "international job-hunting mission" as governor, according to his office, and while the trip was ostensibly organized around an economic development agenda, it's also a signal he's contemplating a presidential run.

Does he actually think anyone in LGBT-friendly Israel would even consider locating in
