Scandals are more likely to hurt politicians without institutional support.
If Anthony Weiner had been more of a team player, he might not have been forced to resign.
So the likes of Justin Amash and Ted Cruz would be more vulnerable.
There's also an argument that politicians who represent cities with a strong media presence are more likely to be caught, because they have the attention of more reporters.
I'll also nominate Democratic congresswoman Grace Meng from New York for that reason, and for her father's criminal past, which increases her odds of getting embroiled in something.
