If it was heads up I would raise allin. This is why I would reraise preflop with a nice hand and position on this donk.

By just calling, you can get yourself off of it if the odds aren't right. If you re-raise huge and the blind raises all in, you commit yourself to calling and probably get it all in with a flush draw against a set.
If you just call, the blind pushes with a set, and the original donk re-raises all in with A-A, K-K, Q-Q, etc. than you could possibly be getting laid the right odds to call into a three-way all in with the Nut-flush draw.
Because he didn't re-raise on the button to isolate against the raiser, you seriously have to be concerned about 2-2, 6-6, and 8-8, and so I think it's preferable to let them do the raising so you can see if your getting laid the right odds (and their hand will be transparent).
Also, by just calling, you can induce loose-weak players to call with 8-x, 6-x, and 9-7, 5-7, hands that I really wouldn't mind getting called with - after all, you've still got position, and they are loose-passive, so they'll just check-call even if they hit their cash card on the turn. Then if the original bettor doesn't bet enough on the turn, you can just call knowing that the loose-weak player will call even if he made his trips, two pair, or straight on the turn, and your gonna get to see the river with even better odds.

or
Given stack sizes, you could also raise a non-stack-committing amount (like $48), and get to see what the blinds do before moron acts.
If moron does something stupid like calling and checking the turn, then you can check behind and fold the river unless you hit an A or the flush.

Total moron who min raises constantly min raises to $4. I call on the button with
![[As]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/As.gif "The Ace of Spades")
[Ts]. Both blind call.Pot $16. Flop
![[8h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/8h.gif "The Eight of Hearts")
[6s][2s]. Blinds check. Moron bets $16. Hes been betting $2 on the flop after these raises, so he must have something this time (or absolutely nothing). he has $70 left. The blinds have full stacks. Whats my play?1) Raise all in
2) Rasie enough to put moron all in, which will commit me if a blind has a monster and reraises.
3) Flat call
