RFK has his issues but, if they manage to do away with Trump (and Civil War 2 doesn't kick off), I'd protest vote the heck out of him. I'm not voting for Biden, I'm not voting for Haley. So it wouldn't even be a vote thrown away. Despite my misgivings (guns, environmentalist insanity, mild and specifically applied fascism), I'd vote for RFK in a heartbeat if it's a choice between those three. Similar to Trump, he's a hand grenade against the system. A giant middle finger.
Is he, or is he just a Ross Perot-type spoiler candidate who was in good and tight with the establishment right up until they needed somebody to try and undermine the Republicans' chances?
Perot '92 was not a spoiler candidate. H. Ross was going to be the President before the CIA put a hit out on his campaign.
RFK with Trump in the race is a spoiler candidate because he has no chance of winning. If Trump gets taken out of the race then RFK would be a second Perot, with an actual chance of winning.
I'd say in a Haley-RFK-Biden race the only way he doesn't win is through Operation Mockingbird propaganda, it could even come down to puppetmastering the House vote.

Perot was an outsider like Trump. His only mistake was running third party, but I doubt the other parties would have let him get anywhere either.
His only mistake was quitting when threatened by Bush Sr.
