Show me someone who has shown a greater ability than Mike Huckabee to communicate, convince, and draw Americans to “the better angels of their nature.”

You mean like when he asked whether the Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers? That statement was a cheap shot aimed at exciting religious bigotry. After pulling that stunt, he lost any credibility he had to talk about drawing Americans to "the better angels of their nature." His little stunt with the ad that he commissioned, then decided not to run, then showed to the press so that the ad would get full exposure, and then couldn't pull in time because some stations already had the ad slotted is another example of his failure on the "better angels" measure.

Mike Huckabee wants to play Christian charity with the taxpayers money in giving scholarships to illegal aliens after we've already given them K-12 schooling for free. Maybe you think that kind of policy represents "better angels," but I see that kind of policy as typical entitlement liberalism. The liberals also used to prattle about "better angels" as they insisted that we needed to fund all kinds of social programs.

Again, Mike Huckabee might be a good pastor and a good enough governor for Arkansas. He doesn't have the right stuff to be president regardless of whether he's had bariatric surgery.

Really? Do you know this?

I haven't heard that it ran on a single Iowa station. It was not shown in any decent, reproduceable fashion in the press conference either, from what I've seen and heard.
