1) Can the Party and their nominee shed the top 1% label?

2) Can they attract minority voters?

Unless somehow, the economy tanks into a massive recession, similar to '08 (and it might, but I don't think by Nov'16), the questions for the GOP will be same in my opinion.  After all the hoopla, all the media nonsense, etc...these are the two questions that they must answer and focus on.  Mitt Romney failed miserably at both.  Then again, I do respect that he made certain comments to hint to the average American that the middle class is screwed.  Of course, Americans don't like being told bad things, but that's another story.

Does anyone else agree though with this simplified view? If the GOP can somehow solve these these two points, they have a good shot to win the White House next year. If they can't, they'll lose again.

Yes, if the GOP wins more votes, they will win. I don't think anyone is going disagree with that.
