Trump's lines delivered by a woman and Hillary's lines delivered by a man.
The performers mimic the facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language of Trump and Hillary during the debate--including Trump's sniffing and stalking and Hillary's frozen smile. The purpose was to find out whether observers would react differently to the debate performance of their favored and disfavored candidates if the genders were reversed. There is other stuff in the video---explanation and discussion--but the debate recreations last only about 10 or 11 minutes each. (They are using different names in the performance, not the actual candidates' names.) Fascinating stuff.

(BTW, the performers are college instructors.)
