Call it panic day for the Republican establishment: GOP front-runner Donald Trump is tightening his grip on the party’s nomination on Super Tuesday, the most important day yet in the 2016 election.

Republicans are facing off on Super Tuesday, a group of 11 primaries and caucuses in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.

And it’s possible Trump could win as many as 10 Super Tuesday contests.

He already has one under his belt, as Fox News has called Georgia’s GOP race for Trump.

Predictions from the search engine Bing have Trump sweeping all Super Tuesday states except one. Republican candidate Ted Cruz is expected to take his home state of Texas.

“Tuesday night feels like an evening that will require bourbon and soul-searching for Republicans,” a GOP insider told Politico.

“Game. Set. Match. On both sides,” added a Virginia Republican. “Sure, there will be some surprises and zero candidates will drop out as most have the wherewithal and ego to slog ahead for weeks to come, but this thing is done. Despite conspiracy theories, Trump and Clinton will be cruising to their respective nominations.”

Even Trump’s GOP rivals are expecting a big night for the billionaire.

“Nobody’s going to win but Trump,” Republican candidate John Kasich told CNN on Thursday.

“Right now, Donald Trump has enormous momentum,” Cruz said Friday. “If he continues with that momentum and powers through and wins everywhere on Super Tuesday, he could easily be unstoppable.”

Trump is dominating the races, according to a CNN poll that has him scoring 49 percent of the primary vote.

“On Tuesday, you have a big day,” Trump said at a Tennessee rally on Saturday, urging his supporters to vote even if they are dying or their spouses suddenly decided to dump them.

“You get up, you go to the polls, and you vote!” he said. “I promise you, that you are going to look back on this night and you are going to say this was a very important night … a very important evening in your life.”

Also, Trump has a lock on Georgia and Tennessee, while Cruz is leading in Texas – Super Tuesday’s “crown jewel” with 155 delegates – according to a trio of new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.

The polls’ Georgia results are as follows: Trump, 30; Cruz, 23; Marco Rubio, 23; Ben Carson, 9; John Kasich, 9.

Tennessee results: Trump, 40; Cruz, 22; Rubio, 19; Carson, 9; Kasich, 6.

And in Texas: Cruz, 39; Trump, 26; Rubio, 16; Carson, 8; Kasich, 6.

While Cruz has a solid lead in Texas, his make-or-break moment comes Tuesday.

“If Cruz doesn’t win Texas, it’s game over for him,” Phillip Stutts, a Republican political consultant, told CNN. “Rubio doesn’t doesn’t have to win, but Cruz has to.”

Rubio won’t face his must-win home state primary in Florida until March 15. After that date, states will begin assigning delegates on a winner-take-all basis.

If Trump manages to build a strong delegate lead before March 15, first-place finishes in winner-take-all primaries such as Florida and Ohio could give him the Republican nomination.

For Republicans, 595 delegates are at stake in 11 states. To win the party nomination, GOP candidates need 1,237 delegates.

Super Tuesday results will be recorded below as they come in.
