Elizabeth Warren’s campaign has plenty of well-known slogans: “I’ve got a plan for that.” “Two cents!” “Big, structural change!” “Dream big, fight hard!” And for reporters looking for her comment on rivals for her party’s 2020 presidential nomination, Warren has another slogan: “I’m not here to attack other Democrats.” Warren has deployed the line again and again over the past 11 months to decline comment on other candidates’ approaches to governing, their policy proposals and even their attacks on her. But with her campaign’s poll numbers plateauing, two moderate rivals stepping up their explicit and implicit attacks on her and a billionaire entering the race, Warren has begun to occasionally counterpunch. Yet Warren’s campaign, which has been setting traps for other candidates on campaign finance since its very first days in the race, remains wary of unleashing full-bore assaults on her competitors. Democrats in the early states still want the candidates to play nice, and some allies remain uneasy about how the media portrays women who attack their opponents. Before the Thanksgiving holiday, Warren seemed to adopt a more aggressive posture. When reporters asked about South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s request for her to release additional years of her tax returns, Warren responded with a shot at Buttigieg’s refusal to disclose the names of people who have been collecting high-dollar checks for his campaign. “I understand that there are some candidates who want to distract from the fact they have not released the names of their clients, and they have not released the names of their bundlers, who right now in this campaign are gathering up big checks, who are getting special access to the candidate,” Warren told reporters at a campaign event in Iowa. And she greeted former New York City mayor and billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg’s entrance into the race with a string of attacks, often suggestion he was running in hopes of avoiding Warren’s proposed 2% tax on the ultra-wealthy. On Wednesday, she aired an ad on Bloomberg’s namesake television channel. “Some people have figured out, you know, it’d be a lot cheaper to spend a few hundred mil just buying the presidency instead of paying that 2-cent wealth tax,” Warren says as an image of Bloomberg appears onscreen. But during a two-day, three-stop swing through Iowa on Sunday and Monday, Warren was back to avoiding direct attacks. After a rally at the University of Iowa’s Memorial Union, a reporter asked about Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet’s criticism of Warren’s ambitious policy goals. “I’m not here to attack other Democrats,” she quickly responded. When re
