A3o isolation against a major donkey
 

Villain is a major donkey kong donkey - 55/8/1.3
SB - 14.4/9/3.2
BB 22/11/1.57
Both sb and bb have been folding their blinds like they don't like money, so both of them calling was a bit of a shock.

Do we like the preflop iso against this guy? Rest of the hand? River raise on the donk?

I think you played this hand perfectly on every street. IMO you had the perfect limping opponent and more importantly you had the perfect blinds to make this ISO play. I realize your play failed miserably since both blinds called, but thats why poker is such a great game cuz you can make all the right decisions and every thing can still go to hell.
