A cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife. In evolutionary biology, the term is also applied to males who are unwittingly investing parental effort in offspring that are not genetically their own.
Nowhere in the word's etymology is organ size an attributable portion of the definition.
Waiting for Lazy....
That still leads one to ask "what does that have to do with Trump & Sanders?" but I suspect you already know there's more to it than the dictionary definition.
A few days ago our Mr Rotekz posted a crudely drawn cartoon that showed some golden-maned, sunbeam-spreading Trump character extending a welcoming hand to a Bernie character who was wallowing in monochromatic filth. Each depiction had a few adjectives around the figures. I can't remember exactly what most of them were but none were surprising; bestowing some godlike attributes on Trump and describing Bernie in the most demeaning terms the illustrator could find in his thesaurus. I dismissed it because it was ridiculous but got the feeling that, like rotekz seems to do, it was using some words that seem inappropriate (in a "that doesn't mean what you think it means" sort of way). The one adjective I do recall was "cuckold," certainly a term of derision but what's that got to do with... oh holy fuck, now Trump's talking about the size of his dick! That's no accident, was it? This whole campaign is literally an appeal to some primitive desire in some people to be dominated. They are literally turned on by this man, he's their sexual Alpha, and want nothing more than to be reassured that he's got the goods. That sonofabitch Trump knew this going in, and even got Rubio to play along by design or is he complicit? I don't know. I should put this in crazy conspiracy theories because it's batshit crazy but hey. I'll just let it sit here until Lazy comes in to talk me down.

Many of the people supporting, and presumably voting for Drumpf in primaries are not registered Republicans. He is not doing well in closed primaries/caucuses limited to registered Rs (Oklahoma). He is currently on track to lose another closed caucus (Kansas) as well. Louisiana and Maine are also closed caucus states voting today. So his ceiling with registered Rs may yet be his undoing. Other big closed caucus/primary states lie ahead, including Arizona, California, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania. Will they provide the firewall the GOP is scrambling for?
I was really quite surprised that he lost Oklahoma to Cruz. I guess the "I like people who hear voices" crowd outnumbers the "I hate everyone who isn't like me" crowd by a winning margin here.

First he bails on CPAC to go to Wichita!?, now this. He's starting to crumble, but the damage to the party is already done; there will be no Republican in the White House this time around. Thanks, ya wig rack!
No, time and again his tactic has been to say something outrageous, then quietly backpedal. But still,

The political and media establishments in the U.S. — which have jointly wrought so much destruction, decay, and decadence — recently decided to unite against Donald Trump. Their central claim is that the real estate mogul and longtime NBC reality TV star advocates morally reprehensible positions that are far outside the bounds of decency; relatedly, they argue, he is so personally repellent that his empowerment would degrade both the country and the presidency.
In some instances, their claim is plausible: There is at least genuine embarrassment if not revulsion even among America’s political class over Trump’s proposed mass deportation of 11 million human beings, banning of all Muslims from entering the country, and new laws to enable him to more easily sue (and thus destroy) media outlets that “falsely” criticize him. And his signature personality brew of deep-seated insecurities, vindictive narcissism, channeling of the darkest impulses, and gaudy, petty boasting is indeed uniquely grotesque.
But in many cases, probably most, the flamboyant denunciations of Trump by establishment figures make no sense except as self-aggrandizing pretense, because those condemning him have long tolerated if not outright advocated very similar ideas, albeit with less rhetorical candor. Trump is self-evidently a toxic authoritarian demagogue advocating morally monstrous positions, but in most cases where elite outrage is being vented, he is merely a natural extension of the mainstream rhetorical and policy framework that has been laid, not some radical departure from it. He’s their id. What establishment mavens most resent is not what Trump is, does, or says, but what he reflects: the unmistakable, undeniable signs of late-stage imperial collapse, along with the resentments and hatreds they have long deliberately and self-servingly stoked but which are now raging out of their control.

The only people who decide what is fair or not are the voters, he can do whatever he wants. If people still vote for him, fine if they don't fine. There is no fair in politics and elections. Personally I didn't give a crap about Obama's citizenship nor do I care about Trump's tax return, I was not going to vote for Obama anyway nor Trump this time no matter what and the Trump and Obama supporters were and are going to vote for their candidates either way. It is all a crock o' poopay.
Uh, it wasn't his tax returns that Donald was "guaranteeing" during last night's debate.
Today Donald J. Trump was endorsed by Thomas J. Barrack Jr., Executive Chairman of Colony Capital, and Andy Beal, the most successful and wealthiest investor in the country and the founder of Beal Bank, one of the most profitable banks in America, located in Dallas, Texas. Mr. Trump has received tremendous support from the business community where he is highly regarded for his negotiating, deal-making and unprecedented success in a variety of industries.
