Lead Mobs of Rioters
Like Stukov and Zombies, Donny starts the game with a Civilian Compound that produces a temporary mass of armed rioters. They cannot be controlled, and follow a rally point.
Scavenge from your Enemies
Donny gains extra Minerals and Gas from destroying enemy structures, and also fills a new Popular Support meter by destroying structures and units.
Rally the Revolution
Not unlike Zeratul, Donny uses simplified macro with upgrades including better equipped support for Mobs unlocking as his Popular Support increases.
Donny’s lines may frame him as reporting on a spontaneous riot more than commanding it.

Why Donny
This is an attempt to make a Terran commander themed on a civilian uprising against Mengsk, and other threats, in the wake of his damning speech being spread.
Donny Vermillion is an odd choice for a Commander, but he seems best suited to fill that niche.
Raynor should be the post child of a revolutionary force, but he pretty plays like a conventional Terran force.
Themes
To represent a revolutionary army, Donny does not use large machines purpose-built for war.
Raiding armories permits some weapons military machines, but the heart of the army is armed militia and repurposed civilian vehicles.
