tough questions at event with 2016 presidential hopefuls from both parties.

'Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O'Malley, who was the first to speak, said the nation needs not just new leadership, but a new way of governing that invites people of all parties to "return to the table of democracy."

Speaking via video link from Baltimore, the former Maryland governor said he achieved results in lowering crime and improving education by employing a "circle of collaboration" focused on what works, and would take the same approach in tackling income inequality and other national problems as president.

"We didn't get things done by running to our labeled corners, we invited one another to come with ideas. This is a new way of leadership that people are demanding," he said.

In contrast, Trump said solving problems is about having a strong leader who will step in take charge of a messy situation.'
