Donald Trump took shot after shot at Hillary Clinton during the first campaign rally of a four day Western swing on Tuesday, but he saved his best barbs for a senator who has been touted as a potential Clinton running mate.

'You know, Hillary Clinton has somebody. Did you ever hear of Pocahontas? It's Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren!' he shouted to thousands gathered in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Warren famously described herself as a native American, based on a tiny branch of her family tree, in order to gain preferential treatment in law school hiring.

'She said she was an Indian!' Trump laughed. 'She said because her cheekbones were so high, she was an Indian! That she's Native American! ... We're getting wise to what's happening. It's a big scam.'

FIGHT NIGHT: A string of protesters were removed from the Albuquerque rally

He called Clinton 'Obama lite' during a speech that lasted more than an hour saying that 'it's hard to believe you could get lighter than Obama.'

'Hillary can't even put away Bernie!' he said, referring to the scrappy Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is giving her the fight of her life in the Democratic primary.

'Crooked Hillary, she can't put him away.'

'I gotta give him credit,' he said later. 'Crazy Bernie's out there trying hard.'

But he went out of his way to clobber Clinton on her personal speaking habits as much as for her policy ideas.

'I will never say this,' he said – and then said it. 'She screams. it drives me crazy. I can't listen!'

He complained that Clinton had passed judgment on his pattern of turning a profit by buying distressed and foreclosed housing and reselling it at a profit when the market turned upward.

'She goes, "And Donald Trump is a terrible person! And he wanted to buy housing when it was at a low point!"'

'Who the hell doesn't?' he yelled, drawing a mixture of laughing and cheers.

Trump also returned to a theme from last week's National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky, where he received the gun-rights lobby group's endorsement.

Clinton 'wants to take your guns away and she wants to abolish the Second Amendment,' he claimed.

And he insisted that Clinton's economic plan would disadvantage black teens whose unemployment rate is far above the national average.

'Hillary Clinton is so bad for African-American youth,' he said. 'She is not going to create jobs. She is going to be such a disaster.'

The customary gaggle of protesters tried to disrupt Trump's speech, but he shrugged it off.

'We have all night,' he said.

'Is it fun to be at a Trump rally?' he asked after the third interruption.

'Go home to mommy!' he mocked as security walked him out. 'He can't get a date, so he's doing this instead.'

Another, a baby-faced teenager, drew a laugh from the podium.

'How old is this kid? Get out of here!' Trump blared. 'He's still wearing diapers! I'm telling you, the kid looks like he's ten years old.'

'Did you see? I said "Get out of here," and he ran out!'

NEW MEXICO'S FINEST: Police removed activists, including some who shouted pro-illegal-immigration slogans

LITTLE PAWNS: One activist brought a little girl to the protest zone across the street from the Albuquerque Convention Center, and gave her an explicit sign to hold

NO MAS: Most protesters who were ejected Tuesday night left quietly, including one young man who bolted as soon sa Trump told him to get out

Police removed two protesters before the rally began; they had been lurking in the section directly behind the podium.

Others in the same section were ejected during the speech.

Another, a young woman, piped up but was too quiet for Trump to hear.

'Let her stay. What the hell,' he shrugged.

Trump's Albuquerque rally followed his first high-dollar fundraiser since inking a cooperative fundraising event with the Republican National Committee – a $10,000 per person event.

His visit to the American southwest marked the beginning of a four-day campaign swing that also includes stops in California, North Dakota and Montana.

Trump's first warm-up act, Albuquerque attorney David Chavez, leveled broadside after broadside at Hillary Clinton.

'Even Bill Clinton chose other women – so you should, too,' he declared to cheers from thousands in the Albuquerque Convention Center.

Voting for Clinton because she's a woman, Chavez added, is like 'drinking breach because it looks like water.'

Another pre-show speaker, Trump policy adviser Stephen Miller, read aloud from Peter Schweitzer's 'Clinton Cash' book.

'"Clinton Cash" is to Hillary Clinton what the black book is to the mafia,' he said, before his story-time exercise made Schweitzer's case that Clinton's tenure as secretary of state was rife with corruption and conflicts of interest.

'She is as crooked as you get, believe me. read the book,' Trump told his crowd later.

Outside the convention center, a few hundred protesters chanted 'F*** Donald Trump' and waved signs protesting Trump's policy proposals regarding illegal immigrants.

At one point a pro-Trump rally-goer yelled 'Build the wall!' Protesters threw water bottles at him in a tense moment that police quickly diffused.

One activist brought a young daughter and gave her a sign to hold.
